About the service

What is Supported Independent Living?

Supported Independent Living, often called SIL, is NDIS-funded support for the everyday business of running a home and building independence. That may include cooking, cleaning, personal care, medication prompts, appointments, routines, and learning new life skills.

It is delivered where you live, with support shaped around your needs, preferences and goals. At TSC, we focus on helping people feel safe, capable and genuinely in control at home.

SIL is the support, not the house

SIL funds the support you receive at home. The property itself, whether that is a shared home, your own place, or Specialist Disability Accommodation, is arranged separately. We can help you understand how both parts fit together.

The TSC difference

Support that feels like home, with real care behind it

Plenty of providers offer SIL. True Supportive Care brings local knowledge, clinical capability and person-centred support together.

Support when you need it

Daytime, overnight and active-night support can be planned around your needs, with the right team close by.

Your choices, first

You have a say in who supports you, how your day runs, and what goals you want to work towards.

Genuinely local

Proudly supporting people across Townsville, Cairns and North Queensland, with a team that understands the communities we work in.

People, not paperwork

Warm, respectful support workers who treat your home like a home, and keep your goals at the centre of the plan.

Where you live

Two ways to live well with TSC

Whether you would like the company of a shared home or the comfort of your own, we tailor support to suit.

A shared TSC home

Live alongside others in a welcoming, professionally supported home. You have your own private space and routine, with shared support on hand and the comfort of company when you want it.

Prefer to stay where you are? Support comes to you. We work around your home, habits and community so you can keep living independently with backup when needed.
