"We don't find people for houses. We find the right house, housemates and support team for the person."
Rather than trying to fit people into existing vacancies, we take the time to get to know each individual first. We work closely with participants, families, Support Coordinators, Allied Health teams and guardians to find the right combination of home, housemates, support staff, funding arrangements and specialist supports.
This person-centred approach is what we know leads to positive outcomes, successful transitions and long-term stability.

Worried About Changing Providers?
Many families worry that changing SIL providers will be too disruptive.
The reality is that with the right planning and support, transitions can be smooth and highly successful. We have supported many participants to transition into new homes and support arrangements, with families often telling us they are amazed by the positive changes they see in their loved ones.
Our experienced team carefully plans every step of the transition process to ensure participants feel safe, supported and settled.
