More Than Just a House – It’s Your Home
Finding the right place to live is about more than just a roof over your head; it’s about feeling safe, valued, and connected. At Auswide Care, our Supported Independent Living (SIL) services are designed to help NDIS participants live as independently as possible while receiving the daily support they need.
Officially known as “Assistance with daily life tasks in a group or shared living arrangement”, our SIL program offers a supportive environment where you can learn new skills and make lifelong friends. Whether you need help with cooking, personal care, or getting to appointments, our dedicated team is there 24 hours a day.
We understand that compatibility matters. That’s why we work hard to match you with housemates who share similar interests. If you are looking for quality SIL housing Gold Coast, we have welcoming homes ready for you to move into.

Why Choose Auswide Care
Why Choose Us for Supported Independent Living Gold Coast?
We don’t just fill vacancies; we create homes. Here is why participants choose us over other SIL providers Gold Coast and Brisbane.
Understanding Your Funding : SIL vs. SDA
It is common to get confused between SIL and SDA. To get the right SIL accommodation Gold Coast, it is important to know the difference.
What is SIL (Supported Independent Living)?
SIL refers to the “Support Services” (the people). It covers the cost of the support workers who help you with daily tasks, cooking, and personal care in the home. This is funded under Core Supports.
What is SDA (Specialist Disability Accommodation)?
SDA refers to the “Bricks and Mortar” (the building). It is for people who need special housing designs (like wheelchair ramps or robust walls). Not everyone who gets SIL needs SDA.
How We Help
At Auswide Care, we can assist you with both. We provide the SIL support staff, and we can also connect you with SDA Housing providers if you require a specialised building. We strictly follow the NDIS Pricing Arrangements to ensure transparency.
FAQs about Supported Independent Living
Who is eligible for SIL funding?
SIL is typically for NDIS participants who have higher support needs and require assistance throughout the day and night (24/7). You will need to provide evidence that you cannot live alone without support.
Can I choose my housemates?
Yes! We believe compatibility is key to a happy home. We involve you in the process of meeting potential housemates to ensure everyone gets along.
What does "Supported Independent Living" mean for my rent?
The NDIS pays for the support workers (SIL), but you are usually responsible for your own rent and board (groceries/utilities). This is often paid using your Disability Support Pension and Commonwealth Rent Assistance.
Do you have SIL housing Gold Coast vacancies right now?
Yes, we frequently have vacancies in suburbs across the Gold Coast and Brisbane. Please contact our team to find out which homes have a room available that suits your needs.
Can I bring my own furniture?
Absolutely. While the shared areas (living room, kitchen) are fully furnished, your bedroom is your private space to decorate and furnish however you like.
