SIL

Supported Independent Living Gold Coast

Specialist Disability Accommodation & Support Across South East Queensland

At Great Life Health, we are a registered NDIS provider delivering Supported Independent Living (SIL) for participants with a wide range of support needs, including complex and high-intensity supports. Our services are designed to help NDIS participants live as independently as possible while receiving consistent, high-quality support tailored to their individual goals, needs, and preferences.

We provide person-centred, outcomes-focused SIL supports that align with each participant’s NDIS plan, empowering individuals to build daily living skills, maintain their health and wellbeing, and participate meaningfully in their community.


Individualised NDIS Supported Independent Living Ratios

We understand that every NDIS participant has different levels of support needs. Great Life Health offers flexible SIL support ratios to ensure the right balance of independence, safety, and assistance.

Our Supported Independent Living arrangements include:

  • Complex 2:1 supports for participants with intensive or high-risk needs
  • 1:1 supports for participants requiring individualised care
  • Shared SIL models, including 1:2, 1:3, and 1:4 arrangements, where appropriate

Wherever possible, we carefully match participants with compatible support teams whose skills, training, and experience align with the participant’s disability, medical needs, behavioural support requirements, and personal preferences. This matching process supports stability, consistency, and long-term positive outcomes.

NDIS Supported Independent Living from Hospital or Other Providers

Many participants enter our Supported Independent Living services directly from hospitals, rehabilitation units, or other NDIS providers. Great Life Health specialises in managing complex NDIS transitions, ensuring a smooth and well-planned move into SIL accommodation.

Our transition support includes:

  • Detailed transition and risk planning
  • Review of NDIS plans and support requirements
  • Staff training prior to participant move-in

This structured approach helps reduce risks, avoid service gaps, and ensure continuity of care.

We believe strong collaboration leads to better outcomes for NDIS participants. Great Life Health works closely with:

  • Support Coordinators
  • Specialist Support Coordinators
  • Behaviour Support Practitioners
  • Allied health professionals
  • Medical practitioners
  • Families, carers, and guardians

By working together, we ensure supports remain aligned with the participant’s NDIS goals, evolving needs, and long-term aspirations.
