Looking for a sea change? Here are our NDIS SIL vacancies Gold Coast

Looking to make a sea change or move into supported living? As the sixth largest city in the country, the Gold Coast offers plenty to see and do. Whether you love exploring the scenic hinterland or catching waves at the beach, there truly is something for everyone. Therefore, if you’re searching for NDIS Supported Independent Living (SIL) vacancies on the Gold Coast, here’s what you can expect and enjoy.

What’s SIL?

Supported Independent Living (SIL) is defined by the NDIS as a type of support designed to help you live independently in your own home. Specifically, it includes assistance or supervision with daily tasks like cleaning and cooking meals, with the goal of supporting your independence as much as possible.

Generally, the NDIS recommends SIL for people with high support needs—those who require significant help throughout the day, including overnight assistance. However, it’s important to note that SIL funding does not cover everyday expenses such as groceries or rent. For detailed information on what SIL covers, check the NDIS SIL guidelines.

Do I have to live alone?

Not necessarily. SIL funding can support you living alone if that suits your preference. Alternatively, you may want to live with other NDIS participants. At Aspire Hub, we work closely with you to find a vacancy that best fits your needs and lifestyle.

What’s included?

While plans and services vary, Aspire Hub focuses on empowering individuals to live the life they choose. For example, we assist with daily living tasks like grocery shopping, cooking, and cleaning. Additionally, personal care support includes dressing, personal hygiene, and toileting. We also provide medication management and help with lifestyle activities such as engaging in hobbies, socialising, and personal development, all aimed at helping you achieve your goals.

What funding do I need?

Supported Independent Living requires pre-approval from the NDIS. However, if SIL isn’t included in your plan, you might be able to use your CORE Budget for Short Term Accommodation. If you need help checking or applying for your NDIS plan, please reach out to us for support and guidance.

Why the Gold Coast?

The demand for SIL NDIS options on the Gold Coast is growing. Recent Census data shows that 5.5% of the total Gold Coast population live with a disability. Consequently, as a leading provider of supported accommodation, Aspire Hub has included the Gold Coast in our list of housing vacancies to meet this increasing need.
