What is SDA and SIL?
Understanding the difference between Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) and Supported Independent Living (SIL) helps you make informed decisions about your NDIS supports.
SDA
Specialist Disability Accommodation
SDA refers to the physical housing designed for people with extreme functional impairment or very high support needs. It includes specialised features like:
- Wheelchair accessible design
- Smart home technology
- High physical support features
- Robust construction for complex behaviours
- Improved liveability features
SIL
Supported Independent Living
SIL is the support services provided to help you live independently in shared or individual accommodation. Our SIL services include:
- 24/7 on-site support
- Personal care assistance
- Help with household tasks
- Medication management
- Community participation support
- Skill development & capacity building
How SDA and SIL Work Together
Many NDIS participants receive both SDA (for housing) and SIL (for support services). Caring Hearts Home Care provides SIL supports and works collaboratively with SDA providers to ensure you receive quality accommodation and the support you need to live independently.

Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about Supported Independent Living (SIL), SDA housing, and our NDIS disability support services in Melbourne. As an NDIS registered provider, we're here to help.
What is the difference between SDA and SIL for NDIS participants?
Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) refers to the physical home or building designed for people with extreme functional impairment. Supported Independent Living (SIL) refers to the on-site support services (like personal care and daily living assistance) provided to help you live independently in that home.
Do I need both SDA and SIL funding in my NDIS plan?
Not necessarily. While they often go together, some participants only need SIL funding to receive support in their own private rental or family home. SDA funding is specifically for the physical housing component.
How do I know if I'm eligible for SIL in Melbourne?
You may be eligible if you require significant help with daily tasks to live independently. You will need to complete a roster of care and provide supporting documentation from an occupational therapist to the NDIA.
What areas in Melbourne does your NDIS registered provider service?
We primarily service Melbourne Metro and Western Suburbs, including Werribee, Hoppers Crossing, Tarneit, Sunshine, and inner-city locations. Please contact us to confirm if we cover your specific suburb.
How quickly can I move into SIL accommodation in Melbourne?
If you have approved SIL funding and we have an immediate vacancy that matches your support needs and preferences, the transition can happen within a few weeks following successful meet-and-greets and service agreements.
Can I choose who I live with in NDIS shared accommodation?
Absolutely. Participant compatibility is a top priority. We facilitate meet-and-greets before any commitments are made to ensure you feel comfortable and compatible with your potential housemates.
What overnight support is available from your Melbourne NDIS team?
Depending on your NDIS plan and assessed needs, we can provide either active overnight support (awake staff) or sleepover support (inactive staff available for emergencies) to ensure your safety 24/7.
