HOPE DISABILITY

Supported Independent Living

A person who has been diagnosed with a physical or intellectual disability is referred to as a “person with a disability” or “divide.” The person may also be referred to as “an individual with a disability.” A person without a disability is referred to as a non-divided. A person without a disability may be a person who has a diagnosed disability (such as a person with an intellectual disability or a person with a physical disability), or a person who is not diagnosed with a disability but experiences challenges associated with a disability (such as being illiterate or having low education). In Australia, people with disabilities are entitled to a range of government-funded support services. The Auscommunity website has a comprehensive list of disability support services in Australia. You can also contact the Australian Disability Support Association (AusDSA) or any of the many disability support providers listed in our article.

Supported Independent Living (SIL) benefits

There are many types of disabilities, but all stem from one of two root causes: a congenital or an acquired one. A congenital disability is one that is present from birth. An acquired disability is caused by an illness, injury, or surgery. A person might also have a developmental disability that is present from birth (congenital developmental disability) but might also develop from an illness, injury, or surgery that affects the brain (acquired developmental disability). There is a wide range of disabilities, each with its own unique set of challenges that need to be overcome. Many disabilities affect how a person performs everyday tasks such as walking, eating, or dressing. Other disabilities might affect your ability to think, reason, or reason with others.
The concept of self-reliance has been well established in Australian culture since early settlement. The communities on the Australian continent faced many challenges during the early settlement period, including a lack of food, shelter, and disease. This sense of self-reliance and community cooperation is still very present in Australian culture today. Most Australian people with disabilities live independently in the community. Most people with disabilities will have some form of assistance with everyday living activities, such as cooking, shopping, cleaning, and dressing. This is referred to as community-based supported living. Community-based supported living is a whole-of-life approach. Most people with disabilities will receive some form of assistance with their daily living activities throughout their entire life. This approach is preferred by most people with disabilities, their carers, and their families.

There are many ways to live independently in the community, depending on the person’s disability, age, and preference.

  • Assisted living - At assisted living facilities, staff provides assistance with daily living activities. Assisted living might be the best option for people who need assistance with eating, dressing, or bathing.
  • Home-based care - A person with disabilities might receive assistance from a family member with home-based care. Home-based care might be an option for people with some disabilities or for people who want to stay at home for a short time, such as for hospital care or surgery.
  • Residential care - People who need 24/7 assistance might choose to live in a residential care facility.
  • Support for employment - Some people with disabilities choose to receive assistance with everyday activities and enroll in employment support services.
  • Independent living - A person might choose to live independently in their own home.
  • Supported housing - Some people with disabilities choose to live in supported housing, where they are provided with assistance with daily living activities.
Many people choose to have community-based assistance with daily living activities. This might be a program that a person enrolls in, such as a community-based supported living program, home, and community care, or Medicare. Other people choose to have home-based care. This might be an arrangement between the person with a disability and a family member, or it might be an arrangement set up by the government. Home-based care is usually provided by a nurse, caretaker, or care assistant who receives government or non-government funding. In some circumstances, the family member is paid for providing care.

There are a number of options for people who want to live independently in the community. Luckily, most of them are publicly funded.

  • Community-based supported living - This is when a person receives support from a community-based organization, such as a disability support service provider.

The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) provides funding for diverse support services to help people with disabilities make the transition to independent living. It also funds independent living supports for people who do not have a disability. The NDIS is a model of insurance to help people with disabilities transition to more independent and fulfilling lives. This transition includes support services to enable people to live more independently, including support to enable people to live in the community. One of the ways the NDIS supports this transition is with SIL. SIL is a term used to describe supports that enable people to live independently outside of a residential care facility.
