1460: NDIS Support to Be More Independent Out of Home

Supported Independent Living (SIL) is a type of support service
available as part of the NDIS for people with disability who want
to move out of home and be supported to live as independently as
possible.



This can involve helping them with personal care like showering
and getting dressed, going shopping and preparing food, budgeting
and paying bills, house maintenance and cleaning and to develop
their skills so that they can do more and more of this
independently over time.

It can take a very long time to apply and be approved for SIL
funding, so Chief Executive at Community Living Australia, Mark
Kulinski, joins Jennie Lenman to discuss.
