Finding the right Supported Independent Living vacancy can feel stressful, especially when timing is tight. Here is a practical guide to finding and securing a SIL home in NSW.

1. Know what you are looking for

Before you search, get clear on the essentials: the area, the level of support (24/7 or drop-in), whether you want to live alone or with housemates, and any accessibility needs.

2. Search the right places

Good places to look include provider vacancy pages, Housing Hub, and through your Support Coordinator, who often hears about vacancies first. You can see Pursue Ability’s current vacancies here.

3. Think about housemate match

In a shared home, who you live with matters as much as the house. A good provider will take the time to match you with compatible housemates, not just fill a bed.

4. Move quickly, but ask questions

Vacancies can go fast, so respond promptly. But still ask the important questions: how are staff matched, how is the home run, and how quickly can they start.

5. Get your paperwork ready

Having your NDIS plan, any behaviour support plan and functional assessments ready speeds everything up.
