NDIS funding
How this support is funded
This support is usually funded from the Core - Assistance with Daily Life (Supported Independent Living) budget in your NDIS plan. Every plan is different, so we will check your plan with you and explain costs before your support starts.
Prices follow the NDIS Pricing Arrangements and Price Limits. Everyday living costs, such as rent, groceries and entry fees, are not usually covered by NDIS funding.
FAQs
Common questions
Does SIL pay for my rent or home?
No. SIL funding pays for the support you receive in your home. Rent, groceries, utilities and other everyday living costs are generally separate.
Can I choose who I live with?
Your living arrangements should reflect your preferences and support needs. We involve you in planning and respect your choice and control.
Is SIL always 24-hour support?
Not always. The amount and timing of support depend on your assessed needs, NDIS plan and agreed service arrangement.
