Sunshine Love Care – Lightening Your Journey with Safe, Empowering and Personalised Living Solutions

At Sunshine Love Care, we understand that true independence starts with the freedom to live life on your terms — in a home that is safe, supportive, and empowering. Our Supported Independent Living (SIL) Accommodation services are designed to help individuals with disabilities live as independently as possible, with personalised assistance and 24/7 support available where needed.

As a trusted provider under the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS), Sunshine Love Care offers high-quality SIL accommodation options tailored to each individual’s goals, needs, and preferences. Our commitment is to ensure that every participant in our care has access to a secure, welcoming home and the daily support they need to live a confident, fulfilling life.

What is Supported Independent Living (SIL)?

Supported Independent Living (SIL) refers to the assistance provided to NDIS participants who require help with daily tasks while living in shared or individual accommodation. SIL is best suited for people with higher support needs who wish to live with others or by themselves while receiving daily assistance from trained support workers.

This type of support can include help with:

Personal care and hygiene
Meal preparation and planning
Medication management
Household chores
Community participation
Social and life skills development

SIL funding covers the support services only — it does not cover rent, utilities, or day-to-day living expenses such as food or internet. These costs are typically covered by other means, such as Disability Support Pension or private income.

At Sunshine Love Care, our SIL services are tailored to provide a balanced combination of independence and support in a homely, respectful, and inclusive environment.

Our Approach to Supported Independent Living

At Sunshine Love Care, we do more than provide housing — we create homes where individuals can thrive. Our SIL accommodation is guided by a person-centred approach that recognises each individual’s goals, values, lifestyle preferences, and unique needs. We partner with each participant and their families or guardians to develop a comprehensive support plan that promotes independence, dignity, safety, and personal growth.

Our homes are designed to foster inclusion, comfort, and community. Each property is carefully selected, fully maintained, and adapted where necessary to ensure accessibility and functionality. With round-the-clock care from qualified support staff, residents can focus on building life skills, connecting with others, and living their best possible life.
