NDIS Registered Service Provider Melbourne
Your home, your choices, and the dedicated 24/7 support you need to thrive.
Living independently is a milestone everyone deserves to achieve. At elvesCARE, our Supported Independent Living (SIL) services are designed to help NDIS participants live safely and autonomously in a home environment while receiving tailored, round-the-clock support.
Whether you are moving out of home for the first time or looking to transition into a shared or private living layout with structured care, we provide a warm, inclusive, and stable environment. Our goal is to empower you to build your everyday life skills while ensuring you always feel secure, valued, and completely at home.
Under the NDIS framework, Supported Independent Living is a core support funding model designed to cover the cost of paid support workers who assist you with daily tasks inside your home. It is primarily for participants who require higher levels of help at home, including overnight care or 24/7 rosters, to ensure safety, well-being, and capacity building.
Our SIL frameworks are highly personalized and completely adapt to your personal lifestyle, household agreements, and specific funding milestones. We provide assistance with:
Respectful, dignified help with showering, grooming, personal hygiene, and dressing routines.
Evidence-based implementation of positive behaviour support plans focused on communication, safety, and reducing restrictive practices.
Practical mentoring to help you manage cooking, cleaning, dishwashing, grocery shopping, and laundry.
Structured reminders, tracking, and clinical administration of your daily medications and healthcare appointments.
Complete peace of mind with dedicated sleepover or active overnight support shifts tailored to your overnight care plans.
Assisting you to stay active outside the home, visit family, host friends, and participate in local Melbourne recreational clubs.
Practical guidance on handling day-to-day spending, managing personal household bills, and saving for your personal goals.
You do not have to move out away from your family, friends, or familiar neighbourhood. You retain total control over your space. You choose your own housemates, live solo, or remain with family.
Because we do not own the property, there is never a conflict of interest between your landlord and your support provider. If you decide to move to a new rental, your SIL support team moves right along with you.
If you choose elvesCare as your support provider, we work hard to match you with compatible support teams who share your energy, interests, and communication preferences.
We never take away your choices. Our care framework uses an active support model, meaning we help you learn to do things yourself rather than just doing them for you.
As a fully registered NDIS provider, our SIL properties, care standards, and roster structures are completely compliant with the strict guidelines of the NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission.
No. NDIS SIL funding strictly covers the cost of the support workers’ hours who assist you. Everyday living costs such as rent, utility bills (electricity, water, internet), and your groceries are paid separately by you out of your personal income or Disability Support Pension (DSP).
Supported Independent Living (SIL) refers to the paid support staff who help you complete daily activities inside your home. Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) refers to the actual physical house or building itself, which is specially modified or built for individuals with extreme functional impairment or very high support needs. You may receive SIL funding while living in an SDA house, based on individual needs.
Yes. While SIL is most commonly delivered within a shared living arrangement with 2 to 5 housemates to optimize funding, the NDIS can fund individual SIL care if your specific physical, medical, or behavioral needs indicate that living alone is essential for your safety and well-being.
While we do not act as a real estate agency or own properties, we actively assist our clients during the transition process by helping compile rental applications and working alongside support coordinators to secure sustainable private tenancies.
