My Life – Supported Independent Living Services (SIL) in Gippsland
Supported Independent Living (SIL) is a support service funded by NDIS to assist individuals living with a disability in their daily life to live independently.
We specialise in offering SIL services to those throughout Gippsland so that you can get the tailored support you need. We’re here to explain SIL to you.
What are Supported Independent Living Services?
Supported Independent Living can seem confusing or overwhelming, but we hope we can ease that for you.
Supported Independent Living services are designed to be customised for each individual so that you can live independently within your own homes and/or community.
These services are available for individuals who need varying levels of support from general assistance to 24-hour care.

Supported Independent Living (SIL)
Supported Independent Living is funded under the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS).
Its purpose is to support individuals with disabilities in their daily life to maximise independence and self of sense.
From personal care like dressing and meal preparation to developing new skills, Supported Independent Living services are all about support and education.
Personalised support plans
Everyone is unique and everyone’s needs are different therefore everyone’s SIL requirements are going to be different. You need a customised plan in order to get the support you need.
Community integration
Connecting with your local community can reduce feelings of isolation. Our SIL services aim to tap into the local Warragul community through things like assistance with attending local events and social activities.
Skilled support staff
Our staff strive to help each of our participants achieve their personal goals and we’ll provide you the guidance and encouragement to get there.
Short-term Accommodation and Respite (STA)
Short Term Accommodation, may cover the cost of accommodation and other expenses for a short stay away from home for up to 14 days at a time because everyone needs to getaway some time or other.
It can be a great opportunity for your hard-working carer to have a break too.
Temporary relief for carers
To carers: Firstly, thank you. Few things are more rewarding than caring for someone but it’s also highly demanding.
STA services provide safe accommodation so that you know the person you care for is still being cared for while you take time to care for yourself.

Flexible options
Sometimes temporary accommodation is needed for a few days or a few weeks and sometimes it’s urgent because life is unpredictable. STA services are designed to be flexible because we know that life happens.
Engaging activities
We ensure our STA participants have opportunities to take part in activities that cater to their personal interests and needs. From recreational outings to skill-building workshops, these make the STA enjoyable and educational.
Medium-term accommodation (MTA)
Medium-term accommodation, offers a transitional option for those waiting for permanent housing or during a time of upheaval. Moving homes by choice or not is always stressful, but when you have a disability, it can be exponentially more worrying.
MTA provides a stable and comfortable environment where you know you’re safe and taken care of until you can move into your permanent lodgings.
