Supported Independent Living (SIL)

Empowering you to live independently

Acknowleging that one of our basic humans needs is to have a safe, secure place to live, we focus on providing independent living support tailored to you. 

​

We have a variety of home styles for you in areas across Queensland including: Bundaberg, Bargara, Childers, Fraser Coast, Sunshine Coast and North Brisbane.

 

Our homes range from traditional family homes to purpose-built, high physical needs, and independent villas. 

​

Our SIL support teams are highly skilled and trained to give you the best possible assistance in your new home. They'll help you with daily tasks, and teach you skills that you can use to live more independently.
