Supported Independent Living

What is Independent Supported Living?

Quality Living and Support Services (QLSS) provides Supported Independent Living (SIL) services to people with disability so they can live as independently as possible in their own home while receiving the support they need with everyday activities.

SIL can include help or supervision with daily tasks such as personal care, preparing meals, cleaning, shopping, or managing household routines. The level of support is tailored to each person’s needs and goals, helping them build skills and confidence over time.

Everyone’s living situation is different, and SIL is just one of the home and living support options available through the NDIS. The right support will depend on the person’s individual needs, preferences, and goals.

As a fully registered NDIS provider, we provide Quality SIL to people with a Disability who receive funding from the NDIS.

We are an NDIS Registered Provider in all States & Territories of Australia.

...without QLSS being the quality organisation, driving the transition forward and advocating for the client in times of crisis – I don’t think that we would be where we are today and the client certainly wouldn’t have made the level of progress they have.
