Understanding your options

SDA, SIL, ILO — what each one actually funds

These aren't interchangeable. SDA (Specialist Disability Accommodation) is NDIS funding for the purpose-built home itself — accessible bathrooms, hoisting infrastructure, reinforced fixtures. SIL (Supported Independent Living) funds the support workers who help you live in that home.

ILO (Individual Living Options) is a more flexible, individualised living arrangement — living with a host family, a co-resident, or independently with tailored support, rather than in a shared SDA property.

Caring Hearts is a Registered NDIS Provider offering all four across Adelaide, alongside high intensity daily personal support for participants with very high or complex needs.

If your question about SDA, SIL, ILO, complex support in Adelaide isn't here, ask it directly.

Ask us directly
What is the difference between SDA, SIL, ILO and Complex Support?
SDA funds the purpose-built home itself. SIL funds the support workers inside that home. ILO is a more flexible, individualised living arrangement — often with a host or co-resident. Caring Hearts provides all four across Adelaide.
Do you support high or complex needs in Adelaide?
Yes. We provide 24/7 active overnight support, high intensity daily personal support, complex care, behaviour support implementation, and forensic disability support for participants with very high or complex needs across metropolitan Adelaide.
Am I eligible for SDA or SIL funding?
SDA and SIL funding is assessed by the NDIA based on evidence of extreme functional impairment or very high support needs, usually supported by an occupational therapist or allied health report. Our team can help you and your support coordinator understand your options and gather the right evidence.
Can I visit a property before committing?
Absolutely. We encourage prospective residents and families to visit a property before making any decisions. Call 1800 844 995 to arrange an inspection at a time that suits you.
Which Adelaide suburbs do you cover?
We have accommodation and high support placements across metropolitan Adelaide — including Salisbury, Elizabeth, Mawson Lakes, Golden Grove, the CBD, Norwood, Glenelg, Marion, Morphett Vale, Noarlunga and out to Mount Barker and the Adelaide Hills.
How can I verify your NDIS registration?
