Supported Independant Living (SIL)
This set of supports provides assistance with, or supervision of, tasks of daily life in a shared living environment. This is where usually 2–7 participants reside and receive supports, usually of a continuous nature (up to 24/7). These services can be provided in both SDA homes as well as regular properties.

Short Term Accomodation (STA)
Short Term Accommodation, including respite, is funding for support and accommodation for a short time away from a participant's usual home. It covers the cost of their care and accommodation for a period of up to 14 days at any one time. It can be used to give a participant’s usual carers a break, provide the participant with a new environment, and sometimes even holidays.
Prices:
$761.02 – $5,673.40 per day
Individual Living Options (ILO)
Individual Living Options (ILO) are living arrangements that focus on the individual and provide an alternative to group home services. These arrangements include Living Alone, Co-Residency, Host Arrangements, and Living Together options. ILO is a new way for the NDIS to fund flexible, contemporary, and personalised home and living support packages for people with low to moderate disability support needs. This service has two parts: the first is Exploration and Design (under 0106), which involves sourcing and managing the property; the second is the Support Model (under 0115), which refers to the care provided in the home.
