Overview
Supported Independent Living for NDIS participants in Perth
What is it? Supported Independent Living (SIL) is an NDIS-funded support that pays for the help you need with everyday tasks so you can live as independently as possible. In Perth, SIL is usually delivered in a shared home with housemates, or in an individual arrangement, with trained support workers rostered on during the day and, where your plan funds it, overnight.
For many NDIS participants in Perth, the move into Supported Independent Living is the first time they truly run their own household choosing what’s for dinner, how the day is shaped, and who comes and goes. Pacific Community Care exists to make that move feel less like a placement and more like coming home.
As a registered NDIS provider in Perth, we deliver SIL across the metro area with support workers who are matched to each home for personality and consistency, not just availability. Our team assists with personal care, cooking, cleaning, medication prompting, budgeting, community access and the countless small skills that add up to a confident, independent life.
We know Perth’s housing and support landscape from apartment living near the CBD and Fremantle to quieter suburban homes in Joondalup, Rockingham and the south-eastern corridor. Wherever your SIL home is, our focus is the same: safety, dignity and steady growth in independence.

Personal care & hygiene
Respectful help with showering, dressing, grooming and continence, delivered the way you prefer, by workers you know.

Support to plan, shop for and cook meals building real kitchen skills, not just serving food.
Medication prompting
Timely prompts and support to take medication safely, with clear records and GP/pharmacy coordination.

How it works
Getting started with supported independent living in Perth
A clear, supported path from first enquiry to ongoing support, no jargon, no pressure.
1
Enquiry & conversation
We start with a relaxed chat about you your goals, your support needs, whether you want to share a home or live on your own, and the parts of Perth that suit your life.
2
Needs & compatibility review
We review your NDIS plan and roster of care, and if you're considering a shared home, we look carefully at housemate compatibility so the household actually works.
3
Support plan & agreement
We build a personalised SIL support plan and service agreement that spells out your supports, routines and preferences in plain language.
4
Transition & settling in
We coordinate your move, introduce your workers before day one where possible, and stay closely involved through the early weeks as everyone settles.
5
Ongoing review
We review regularly and before every plan reassessment adjusting support as your independence and goals grow.

NDIS Funding
How supported independent living is funded under the NDIS
SIL is funded under the Core Supports budget of your NDIS plan, based on a roster of care that reflects how much daily support you need. Importantly, SIL funding covers your support hours only; it is separate from rent, board, and everyday living costs. If SIL isn’t yet in your plan, our Perth team and support coordinators can help you gather the occupational therapy and support evidence needed for a Home and Living request.
