SIL / SDA Businesses

Supported Independent Living and Specialist Disability Accommodation businesses combine service delivery with property investment, creating resilient, government-backed revenue streams with long-term participant tenure.

SIL and SDA businesses sit at the intersection of disability support services and property investment. Supported Independent Living providers deliver the daily support that enables participants to live independently, while Specialist Disability Accommodation refers to the purpose-built or modified dwellings they reside in. Together, they form one of the most secure and high-demand segments of the NDIS market. Buyers interested in this space should also explore multi-service providers that combine SIL operations with core supports.

Understanding SIL Services

Supported Independent Living (SIL) provides the staffing and support services that enable NDIS participants with high support needs to live as independently as possible. SIL funding covers support workers who assist with daily tasks, personal care, household management, and community engagement within a shared or individual living arrangement.

SIL providers generate recurring revenue through ongoing service agreements, with funding typically reviewed annually as part of participant plan reviews.

SDA Property Investment

  • Government-backed rental income through NDIS pricing
  • Four design categories: Improved Liveability, Fully Accessible, Robust, High Physical Support
  • Long-term participant tenure providing income stability
  • Strong demand driven by undersupply of compliant SDA dwellings
  • Capital growth potential alongside rental yields
