Multibility Care provides Supported Independent Living across the Fraser Coast for participants who need regular support at home while wanting choice, privacy and greater independence in everyday life. SIL should feel like a home first. We work around routines, personal goals, relationships and the level of assistance each participant needs to feel comfortable, safe and involved in their own household.
Supported Independent Living can involve assistance across many parts of the day, which makes consistency and trust especially important. Multibility Care takes time to understand how each participant likes their home to feel, how they communicate, what support they need and which tasks they want to remain involved in. The aim is not to take over everyday life. It is to provide reliable support while protecting personal choice, privacy, dignity and opportunities to build independence.
Good SIL support makes everyday life more manageable without removing the routines, decisions and personal choices that make a house feel like home.Personalised services that empower individuals to live more independently, on their own terms.
A connected network of allied health and support staff working together around your goals.
An experienced team delivering expert, compassionate support you can rely on, year after year.
Living with support should not mean giving up personal routines or household preferences. We discuss how you like mornings to work, the meals you enjoy, how you spend your evenings, the activities you want to stay connected with and where you want to build more independence. Those details help support feel personal rather than institutional.
Participants often benefit from support workers who understand communication preferences, daily routines and the small details that make support easier. Where possible, we focus on dependable relationships and clear communication so participants and families know what to expect and can raise concerns or changing needs early.
Multibility Care supports participants across the Fraser Coast, including Hervey Bay, Maryborough and surrounding coastal and regional communities. Living locally can help participants stay connected with familiar appointments, family relationships, community activities, shops and everyday places that already form part of their life.
Whether a participant is considering a move into SIL or reviewing an existing living arrangement, location is only one part of the decision. The right home also needs to consider compatibility, support requirements, household routines, accessibility and the participant's own preferences. Familiar Fraser Coast locations around the Hervey Bay esplanade, Mary River, Burrum Heads and the K'gari ferry terminals can continue to be part of everyday community life.
Our Fraser Coast service area extends across coastal suburbs, regional centres and surrounding communities.
Supported Independent Living can include assistance throughout the day and overnight depending on the participant's assessed support needs and NDIS funding. The purpose is not simply to complete household tasks. Good SIL support helps participants remain involved in daily life, develop skills where possible, maintain relationships and make meaningful choices inside and outside their home.
Respectful assistance with daily routines can help participants feel comfortable and supported while maintaining as much choice and involvement as possible.
Meals are an everyday part of home life. Support can involve planning, shopping, food preparation and developing cooking skills while respecting preferences and routines.
Household support can help keep the home comfortable and organised while creating opportunities for participants to remain involved in the tasks they want to practise.
A home should support connection with the wider community. SIL assistance can help participants maintain relationships, attend activities and remain involved in places that matter to them.
Everyday home routines provide opportunities to develop practical skills, make more decisions and take greater responsibility for tasks when that aligns with the participant's goals.
Some SIL arrangements require support across the full day or overnight. The level of assistance is planned around assessed needs, safety and the participant's funded support arrangement.
We discuss daily support requirements, routines, preferences, goals, funding and what the participant wants from their living arrangement.
We consider location, compatibility, accessibility, household routines and the type of environment that may suit the participant's needs and preferences.
Moving arrangements, routines, support expectations and important practical details are discussed before the transition so the change can feel more predictable.
Once the participant is living in their home, support continues around everyday routines while goals, independence and changing needs are reviewed over time.
SIL support may be regular and structured, but the participant's home should not feel like a workplace or facility. Personal belongings, routines, favourite meals, quiet time, visitors, community activities and everyday choices all help create a sense of home. Our role is to deliver the assistance required while respecting the participant's space and individuality.
Choosing a Supported Independent Living arrangement can raise practical questions about NDIS funding, homes, support hours, compatibility and the transition process. These answers cover common starting points for participants, families and referrers across the Fraser Coast.
Supported Independent Living, commonly called SIL, is support provided to eligible NDIS participants who need regular assistance while living in their home. Support can include personal care, household routines, meal preparation, skill building, community connection and overnight assistance where required. SIL focuses on the support delivered in the home rather than simply the physical property itself.
Access to SIL depends on the participant's assessed support needs, goals and approved NDIS funding. The planning process may involve information about daily support requirements, living arrangements and the level of assistance needed across the day or overnight. If SIL is being considered, Multibility Care can discuss the service information required to understand whether our support may fit the participant's approved arrangement.
Our Fraser Coast service area includes Hervey Bay, Maryborough, Urangan, Pialba, Scarness, Torquay, Toogoom, Burrum Heads, River Heads, Craignish, Kawungan, Wondunna, Tiaro, Howard, Childers, Booral, Takura, Bundaberg, Aldershot and Bealka Creek. Availability of a specific SIL arrangement can depend on the home, participant needs and compatibility, so contact our team to discuss current options.
You can contact Multibility Care directly or complete our online NDIS referral form. We will ask about the participant's support needs, location, NDIS funding, preferred living arrangement, daily routines and other information relevant to SIL. From there, we can discuss whether there may be a suitable pathway and what additional information is required before planning a transition.
SIL start times vary because moving into a supported living arrangement usually requires more planning than beginning an individual support shift. Timing can depend on NDIS funding, the participant's needs, suitable home availability, compatibility, staffing and transition planning. We discuss the realistic next steps once enough information is available rather than offering a standard start timeframe.
SIL is commonly provided in shared living arrangements, although the most appropriate setup depends on the participant's support needs, approved funding and circumstances. Compatibility between housemates can be important in shared homes because everyday routines, communication styles and preferences affect how comfortable the living environment feels. We encourage participants and families to ask detailed questions about any proposed arrangement.
Participants and families should have an opportunity to understand a proposed living arrangement before making an important decision. Where appropriate and available, discussions may include the home environment, daily routines, support approach, compatibility considerations and transition planning. Contact our team with your questions so we can explain what information can be provided for the particular SIL option being considered.
If you are exploring Supported Independent Living for yourself, a family member or a participant you support, tell us about the person's goals, daily support needs and preferred living environment. We can talk through the practical next steps and the information needed to explore suitable options.
