The NDIA has set criteria to access funding for SIL based on ‘reasonable & necessary supports’. To be eligible for SIL funding a participant must:
- Provide evidence that they are unable to live without 24/7 supports. This is identified through a Functional Assessment Report (FAR) undertaken by an Allied Health professional.
- Provide an Identifying Housing Solution’s report by a support coordinator.
Eligibility must also:
- Take into account informal supports provided by families, carers, networks and the community.
- Be effective and beneficial to the participant.
Caring Australia can support you in determining your eligibility for funding.
Caring Australia will provide you with support with daily life tasks within your home as a group or individually. Support has the intent of building independence and may include:
- cooking and preparing meals
- personal care such as showering
- distributing medication
- learning to catch public transport
- social outings with other housemates
- taking you to medical appointments and recreation activities.
SIL funding is dependent on the level of care required for the resident and is categorised as standard or complex, your NDIS funding covers support needs only. The cost of support does NOT include:
- rental for the home;
- day-to-day living expenses such as food, activities or supports when hospitalised;
- items covered in other sections of the NDIS price guide such as assistive technology, transport costs, day program and work.
Additional costs can be found in the NDIS Price List.
