Supported Independent Living
Our Approach to SIL!
| At Melbourne Disability Services we believe SIL should be a great experience that supports your capacity building journey so you can maintain your current independence skills and work on obtaining new ones all whilst receiving your daily support. You should feel comfortable, safe and confident in your NDIS SIL accommodation, you should be proud to call it your home. MDS offers a nurturing environment that fosters capacity building, promotes your independence and provides you with opportunities to pursue your goals and interests. We take a person centred approach to your care so you can have access to appropriate, effective and quality support. |
Living with Other People and Sharing SupportsWhen living with other residents and sharing supports, we take extra steps by; considering many aspects of you and your lifestyle; listening to what you want and what you’re looking for in a home; asking you plenty of questions so we can match you with the right housemates that you will likely get along with such as people of similar age and interests so you can live with people you enjoy being around. Let us know what your future home looks like! |  |
 | SIL and SDAWe specialise in delivering person centred supported accommodation services to NDIS participants.
