Tell us where you’d like to live and we’ll match you with the right home as new places open across Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth and the Gold Coast.
It’s a real home, not a facility. Every home is built around the person living in it, with support that feels personal, not clinical.
Daily life is built around your goals, routines and the things you enjoy, not a one-size-fits-all roster.
Strong safety systems and trained support workers, so families have genuine peace of mind every day.
We match on personality and interests, then arrange a meet-up before anyone commits to moving in.
Quality-assured SIL support for self-managed, plan-managed and NDIA-managed participants.
The support from Tyrone, Tim, and the team has been amazing. Seeing Jamal gain independence and experience new opportunities has been incredibly rewarding. Knowing he’s supported by people who genuinely care gives me real peace of mind. If you’re considering Supported Independent Living, I highly recommend taking the chance.
What makes the What Ability SIL team so special is that they show up again and again, no matter the challenge. Nobody ever says it’s too hard. We’re so lucky to be a part of the What Ability community.
Enquire online or book a call to see if SIL is right for you.
We learn about your goals, funding and needs, then plan next steps.
We meet to understand your routines and supports, and define what great SIL looks like for you.
We create a clear, agreed plan for your home and support team. Nothing moves forward without your approval.
You move in with your team ready from day one. We check in regularly and adjust early if needed.
We review your supports over time to keep them safe, consistent and aligned with your goals.
If you’re exploring Supported Independent Living for the first time, the best place to start is our enquiry form below.
If you’re an existing What Ability participant or family, please book in a call directly here with our SIL Squad to chat through options, availability and timing.
SIL is the support, the people and services that help you with daily life. SDA (Specialist Disability Accommodation) is the physical home itself. You can have SIL funding without SDA, and vice versa. We can help you understand which applies to your situation.
Yes, compatibility matters to us. We work carefully to match people who are likely to get on well, and we involve you in that process. No surprises on move-in day.
We build consistent teams and aim to keep them as stable as possible. While occasional changes happen (leave, staff turnover), consistency is a priority, not an afterthought.
Absolutely. Family involvement is encouraged at every stage, from planning to regular check-ins. Your support network is part of your world, and we treat it that way.
Your support plan evolves with you. We review regularly and adjust, whether your goals change, your health changes, or you simply want to try something different.
Support levels vary by individual plan. Some people need overnight or active support; others don’t. We design your support around what you actually need, not a one-size package.
