Daily Living Assistance
Personal care (bathing, dressing, grooming, hygiene), meal preparation and mealtime support, plus household tasks like cleaning, laundry, and tidying.
At Empowering Souls, we believe everyone deserves the opportunity to live independently, safely, and with dignity.
Our Supported Independent Living (SIL) services are designed to provide people with disabilities the support they need to live in a shared or individual home environment while developing independence, building daily living skills, and enjoying an empowered life. As an NDIS registered provider, we are proud to deliver SIL supports that focus on enhancing confidence, social inclusion, and independence while ensuring participants feel safe, comfortable, and respected in their living environment.
What Is Supported Independent Living (SIL)?
Supported Independent Living (SIL) is an NDIS-funded support that provides help with and/or supervision of daily tasks in a shared or individual living environment. The goal is to help participants live as independently as possible while still receiving the support they need.
SIL is best suited for individuals who require significant assistance throughout the day or overnight—because of complex needs, personal care requirements, or a desire to build skills to live more independently. At Empowering Souls, our SIL services are flexible, person-centred, and tailored to each participant’s goals.
