Supported Independent Living in Cranbourne, Melbourne’s south-east and north.

SIL and SDA are separate parts of an NDIS plan that often sit side by side. SIL (Core supports) funds the rostered support delivered in the home — personal care, meals, medication, overnight assistance. SDA funds the physical housing itself, when a participant’s plan includes it. We are a SIL provider: we deliver the support and coordinate with the housing side, but we do not charge SDA rent ourselves.

SIL pays for help and supervision with everyday tasks at home, such as personal care, cooking, cleaning, medication routines and overnight support. It does not pay for rent, groceries, utilities, phone or internet: under NDIS rules those are everyday living costs the participant covers, usually from their own income (source: NDIS, ndis.gov.au/housing).

The NDIS describes SIL as being for participants with higher support needs who need some level of help at home all the time. It must also be funded in the participant’s plan as reasonable and necessary. The NDIA makes that decision, usually based on evidence such as an occupational therapy assessment.

There is no fixed number. SIL is built around each person’s assessed needs. The provider works with the participant on a roster of care, a weekly schedule showing each person’s support hours and staffing, and the NDIA uses it as one input when deciding SIL funding. In a shared home, some support hours are shared between housemates and some are one-on-one.

Yes. SIL is support, not housing, so it is not tied to one particular house, and the NDIS can fund SIL for someone living alone. The NDIS notes that other home and living supports, such as Individualised Living Options (ILO), may suit some people better. A support coordinator can help compare the options. Our current vacancies are in our shared homes in Cranbourne North and Beveridge.

Support is rostered around each resident, not a fixed timetable: help getting up and ready, medication at the right times, meals cooked together or independently depending on ability, transport to appointments or activities, and someone awake overnight if that is what the plan calls for. The roster is shared with participants and coordinators up front, so everyone knows who is on shift and when.

Yes — SIL is paid from Core supports, so it has to be funded in the participant’s NDIS plan. If it is not there yet, the participant, family, or support coordinator asks the NDIA to consider home and living supports, usually with supporting evidence such as an occupational therapy assessment. We are happy to talk through a vacancy while that request is in progress, and to share what information helps. The NDIA decides what is funded; we can only explain how our homes and rosters work.

Yes. SIL became a mandatory NDIS registration category on 1 July 2026, and providers that had not applied for registration had to stop delivering SIL from 1 October 2026 (source: NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission). Nurture N Revive is a registered NDIS provider, registration 4053413291, and our registration can be checked on the NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission’s provider register.

We match on routine, interests, and support needs before anyone moves in, because who you live with shapes daily life as much as the support itself. That usually means a visit to the home, time with the current residents and team, and an honest conversation about whether the mix works — and we will say so early if it does not.

We deliver SIL and related supports across Melbourne’s south east from our Cranbourne North base: Cranbourne, Cranbourne North and East, Clyde, Lynbrook, Hampton Park, Narre Warren, Berwick, Hallam, Dandenong, Endeavour Hills, Pakenham, and Frankston — roughly a 25 km radius around Cranbourne, VIC 3977 — and in Melbourne’s north around our Beveridge home (VIC 3753): Beveridge, Wallan, Kalkallo, Donnybrook, Mickleham, Craigieburn, and Wollert.

Yes. Support coordinators can send participant details securely through our referral form, and participants and families are welcome to get in touch directly by phone or the contact page. A real person who knows the vacancy replies within one business day and will say honestly whether the home is a likely match.
