Supported Independent Living (SIL Homes)
In our SIL homes, clients find more than just a place to live- they discover a community where they are valued, heard and supported. We foster an inclusive atmosphere that encourages social connections, personal growth and a sense of belongingness. By choosing Wayfare support, clients and their families can trust that they are partnering with a passionate and professional team committed to making a positive difference in their lives.
Having your own space and making everyday choices can be an important step towards a more independent life. Supported independent living gives you the assistance you need to live as independently as possible while staying connected to your home, community and goals. Support can be provided in a shared home or another suitable living arrangement, depending on what works best for you.
What Is Independent Living Support?
Independent living support is about helping you manage everyday life with greater confidence. This may include support with cooking, cleaning, shopping, personal care, household routines, appointments and getting involved in your local community. The level of support can change as your needs and confidence develop.
Who Can Benefit From Independent Living Support?
If you are an NDIS participant who wants to build your daily living skills or have more choice in how you live, this support may be right for you. It can also help people who need regular help with their daily routines, but are working toward more independence. If appropriate, your family and support network can be involved so that everyone understands your goals and preferences.

Your support may include assistance with:
Personal care and daily routines
Meal preparation and household tasks
Shopping and managing everyday responsibilities
Building practical life skills
Attending appointments and accessing services
Community participation and social activities
Developing confidence in making your own decisions
How Independent Living Support Promotes Independence
Good support is not about doing everything for you. It is about giving you the right assistance while encouraging you to take the lead. We can help you practise everyday skills, make choices and become more confident in managing your own routines. As your abilities grow, the type and level of support can be reviewed around your changing needs and goals.
No two participants need exactly the same support. At Wayfare, we take time to understand what matters to you, how you prefer to live and what you want to achieve. Your support is shaped around your abilities, routines, preferences and NDIS goals rather than using a one size fits all approach.
