Our Story
SILC was established in September, 2016, as a hub to support families to develop their own independent housing models under the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS).
Our Mission
Our mission is to create great, sustainable homes and life experiences for people living with disability, by connecting families and communities.
Our People
Our people have the relevant skills, training, industry and lived experience to deliver our mission. Together with our family cooperatives, we achieve more.
At SILC, we collaborate with families, providers and communities to create housing that genuinely supports the people who live in it. Our approach is grounded in clear communication, partnership and doing what is right for each participant. Together, we help bring new SIL homes to life and build communities where every person feels safe, supported and connected.
How SILC is Different to a Traditional Provider
How SILC Homes Are Established
Every SILC home is established as a family-governed cooperative, with families actively involved in shaping support from the outset.
The house establishment process is a structured, collaborative journey where families work with SILC to design the home and support model. A dedicated House Manager is engaged as the home becomes operational.
The sections below outline each phase of the SILC House Establishment Process, from initial enquiry to a fully operational home.
