Overview
The NDIS Supported Independent Living (SIL) Module is a supplementary module within the NDIS Practice Standards and Quality Indicators framework that applies to registered NDIS providers delivering Supported Independent Living (SIL) services. The module establishes quality and safety requirements to ensure participants receive supports that promote independence, personal development, inclusion, and choice while living in shared or individual accommodation settings. Providers are required to demonstrate that participants are actively involved in decisions affecting their daily lives, support arrangements, and living environments, and that supports are tailored to their individual goals, needs, and preferences.
The SIL Module focuses on key areas including participant autonomy, skill development, person-centred support planning, effective service delivery, and the creation of safe and supportive living environments. It requires providers to implement appropriate governance, staffing, communication, and risk management practices that support participant wellbeing, dignity, privacy, and quality of life. The module forms part of the NDIS quality and audit framework and is used by auditors to assess compliance with the requirements for delivering Supported Independent Living services.
