Supported independent living (SIL) accommodation from Brightwater is designed so each resident achieves the best possible quality of life. The NDIS provides supported independent living funding for daily tasks, so people with disability can be independent and learn new skills while living in a Brightwater home. Brightwater has several SIL homes across Perth that will provide you with the support you need, in a place to call home.
Our experience in residential accommodation helps ensure each person achieves optimal results for their situation. When recommending placements, our independent living specialists consider where friends and family live, what’s around the new neighbourhood and if your new housemates are a good fit for you.
We provide carefully managed and personalised care which encourages engagement with daily tasks, personal care, and cooking meals. All with the aim of building clients’ skills and ensuring even those with high support needs receive the support they need.
Brightwater is dedicated to offering comprehensive supported independent living services that empower NDIS participants to live as independently as possible while meeting their unique disability support needs.
Brightwater’s SIL accommodation provides modern, comfortable living spaces and attractive community areas. Our houses are designed to give clients privacy and peace while enabling them to be as independent as possible.

Supported Independent Living (SIL) accommodation refers to living in a house with others who require support to live as independently as possible.
To access SIL, you’ll need to have an active NDIS plan, and funding must be specifically approved and funded in your plan.
Our SIL homes are designed for people with higher support needs, including those with acquired brain injury, or physical, neurological or psychosocial disabilities. Each home is set up to provide the right mix of independence and support, tailored to the needs of the people who live there.
Moving into a SIL home might be a good fit if you:
Need help with things like personal care, taking medication or getting around
Would benefit from overnight or 24/7 support to live safely
Are looking to build daily living skills with the right support around you
Are transitioning from hospital or another care setting and are not quite ready to live on your own just yet
We help clients with everyday things like getting out of bed, having a shower, getting dressed, attending medical or allied health appointments, making meals and using assistive technology or home modifications.
We're here to help build the skills you need to live your life with greater independence, comfort and confidence - at your own pace.
Before you move into one of our SIL homes, we make sure the home and housemates are the right fit for you.
We first want to find out about you, including what support needs you may have, what you enjoy doing and the type of home you're looking for.
We can then show you some homes that might suit you and if you're keen, we can even organise times for you to tour the home and meet your potential housemates!
Yes! We can tee up a time that suits yourself and our team to come out and visit a home that catches your eye.
Yes, you can keep any existing support services that you have with other providers. You can also choose to access Brightwater services if you wish. If you're stuck on what to do, chat with your Support Coordinator who will be able to help.
You sure can! Brightwater's Capacity Building Team can provide support to help you with your needs, whether that's in your own home, in a shared living space or within a Brightwater SIL home.
If you'd like more information on SIL funding and eligibility, simply get in touch and one of our friendly team who will be more than happy to help assist.
