Supported Independent Living with ConnectAbility Australia – It’s about your life and all that matters to you!

ConnectAbility Australia offers a supported independent living solution that is so much more than accommodation, it’s about life and all that matters to you.

At ConnectAbility Australia our model ensures that people have choice and freedom in their lives whilst having the individualised assistance they need close at hand. Our supported independent living (SIL) accommodation models are tailored for the varying support needs of the residents.

The supports are designed and led by you and other important people in your life to make sure you get what you want out of life.

Moving into a new home is exciting, but sometimes a daunting experience, both for the individual and those who are part of the person’s life, that’s why it’s important to choose a provider you can trust.

Supported Independent Living (SIL)

You may know Supported Independent Living (SIL) under titles such as – Disability Accommodation or Group Homes. These were the terms used prior to the introduction of the NDIS. They all refer to accommodation where you are supported to live independently with staff either dropping in, are onsite for emergencies or where are located in the home 24/7

Our homes are in the communities where we live and work, and are tailored to your individual needs. Supported Independent Living (SIL) is an NDIS funded model of shared accommodation. It can mean living with one or more people that have similar personalities and needs and are supported by ConnectAbility staff across aspects of daily living.

There are a variety of models that are funded by the NDIS and ConnectAbility work with individuals, families and Coordinators of Support to help you to live in a home that is best suited to your needs. You may be looking at sharing with others or being on your own. You could be looking at apartments, villas or houses either in the centre of town or something more rural.

ConnectAbility has a range of homes you may like to look at or can help source something specific to meet your needs. We have opportunities across the Hunter Valley and Central Coast. Our aim is to give you choice and control over how you live your life. Call us to start a conversation today.

Support is usually available 24/7 and can include:
