Course Overview

This course provides a foundational framework for understanding the architecture of an NDIS plan and the specific mechanics of Supported Independent Living (SIL). It focuses on the customization of support delivery, ensuring that participants and providers understand how various funding categories interact to create a cohesive living arrangement.

Aligned with current NDIA Operational Guidelines, this training equips participants with the skills to decode plan terminology and differentiate between the “housing” (the building) and the “supports” (the people). Participants will learn how a plan is activated within a residential setting to promote long-term stability and independence.

What You’ll Learn

  • Decode the NDIS Plan structure: Identifying “Stated,” “Flexible,” and “In-Kind” support categories.

  • Define Supported Independent Living (SIL) and how it differs from Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) and Individualised Living Options (ILO).

  • Master the “Roster of Care” (RoC) process—how SIL providers negotiate funding for 24/7 staffing based on participant needs.

  • Understand the “Reasonable and Necessary” criteria as they apply to home and living decisions.

  • Identify the relationship between SIL funding and daily living goals, such as personal care, meal preparation, and community access.

  • Navigate the “Plan Lifecycle” within a SIL setting, including the transition from a family home to an independent living environment.

  • Execute effective collaboration between the SIL provider, the Support Coordinator, and the participant’s Allied Health team.

  • Understand participant rights regarding “Choice and Control” over who provides their care and who they live with.

Designed For

  • New NDIS support workers and SIL house leads.

  • Participants and their families preparing for a move into independent living.

  • Support coordinators and psychosocial recovery coaches.

  • NDIS provider administrative staff managing service agreements.

  • Advocates and nominees assisting with plan implementation and reviews.
