How providers are verified

When you refer a participant through MD Home Care, you are referring to a provider cross-checked against the official Australian registers. Here is what is verified before a provider appears in the directory.

NDIS register cross-check

Every NDIS-registered provider listed is verified against the NDIS Commission register. Registration numbers and approved support groups are pulled from the official register, not self-declared.

Aged care approval status

Complaints process

If you or a participant has a concern, the NDIS Commission handles complaints about NDIS providers and the Aged Care Quality and Safety Commission handles aged care complaints. We also accept complaints via our own channel.

About Supported Independent Living (SIL)

Supported Independent Living (SIL) provides assistance with daily tasks in a shared living arrangement. SIL is one of the highest-value NDIS supports, often involving 24/7 staffing in shared houses. Providers must hold registration for Assistance with Daily Life Tasks in a Group or Shared Living Arrangement. SIL referrals are among the most complex coordination tasks.

With 557 providers across all states and territories, supported independent living (sil) is a specialist registration group. Provider availability varies by location, so check suburb-level results for accurate coverage.

What Supported Independent Living (SIL) Covers

The Supported Independent Living (SIL) registration group includes the following services. When referring, match the specific service type to the participant's plan goals and funded line items.

24/7 Supported Living

Round-the-clock support in shared houses, typically 3-5 participants. Staff provide personal care, household management, community access, and overnight support. The most intensive and expensive form of NDIS-funded accommodation support.

Drop-In Support

Scheduled support visits to a participant living independently or semi-independently. Less intensive than 24/7 but provides regular check-ins, assistance with tasks, and safety monitoring.

Host Family Arrangements

Participant lives with a vetted host family who provides a home-like environment and day-to-day support. Less institutional than group homes, suitable for participants who benefit from a family setting.

Common Referral Scenarios

Real-world situations where you would refer a participant for supported independent living (sil).

1.

A participant's aging parents can no longer provide full-time care at home. The participant needs 24/7 SIL with a compatible group of housemates. Start the process 6-12 months before the transition is needed, as SIL placements have long waitlists.

2.

A participant in a current SIL arrangement is unhappy with their housemates or provider. You need to find an alternative SIL vacancy that better matches their needs, cultural background, and personality.

3.

A participant is moving from a group home to a more independent living arrangement with drop-in support. The SIL provider needs to develop a transition plan that gradually reduces support while building the participant's independence.

What to Expect After Referral

SIL referrals are among the most complex coordination tasks. The process involves a roster of care assessment, SIL quote development, NDIA approval of the SIL funding, and matching the participant with a compatible house and housemates. Expect the full process to take 3-6 months minimum. Good SIL providers conduct thorough compatibility assessments and offer trial periods before permanent placement.

Red Flags to Watch For

Warning signs that a supported independent living (sil) provider may not be delivering quality services.

Provider placing participants based on vacancy rather than compatibility

No individual support plans for each participant in the house

High staff turnover leading to inconsistent support

Participant not involved in decisions about their living arrangement

Provider restricting participant choice or access to the community

No transparent breakdown of how SIL funding is spent

Roster of care not reflecting actual support delivered

SIL works closely with SDA (the housing component), Therapeutic Supports (therapy delivered in the home), Community Participation (getting out of the house), and Behaviour Support (managing challenging behaviours in shared living). When referring for SIL, also check whether the participant has SDA funding and whether the SIL provider operates in SDA properties.

Referral Tips for Supported Independent Living (SIL)

SIL referrals require extensive planning. Check vacancy availability first, as most SIL houses have waitlists. Confirm the provider's rostering model, staffing ratios, and how they handle overnight support. Request the provider's most recent quality audit results. Coordinate with the participant's family, LAC, and NDIA planner early, as SIL funding requires a separate approval process and roster of care assessment.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I refer a participant for SIL in Australia?
Start by checking which SIL providers have vacancies in Australia. The participant needs a SIL quote and roster of care assessment as part of the NDIS planning process. Coordinate with the NDIA planner to ensure the participant's plan includes SIL funding. Most SIL placements take 3-6 months to arrange from initial referral to move-in.
What is the difference between SIL and SDA?
SIL is the support (staff) funding. SDA is the housing (building) funding. A participant in SDA housing also needs SIL funding for the staff who provide daily living support. They are separate NDIS budget items. Some providers offer both SIL and SDA; others provide one or the other.
Can I refer an NDIA-managed participant to an unregistered provider?
No. NDIA-managed participants can only use NDIS registered providers. Plan-managed and self-managed participants can use both registered and unregistered providers.
How do I check if a provider is NDIS registered?
Check the NDIS Provider Register at provider.ndis.gov.au. Search by provider name or ABN. Providers listed on MD Home Care display their registration status on their profile.
What information should I include when making a referral?
Include the participant's name (with consent), NDIS plan number, relevant line items, budget available, service frequency, specific requirements (cultural, language, gender preference), and your contact details.
