Supported Independent Living Options Near You

Supported Independent Living (SIL) is about more than housing — it’s about creating a home where you feel safe, supported, and independent. At McCall, we provide supported independent living options tailored to your goals, preferences, and lifestyle.

We offer SIL across Western Sydney, including the Hawkesbury, Blacktown and Hills Shire regions. Our homes range from shared community houses to individual villas. Each is designed to promote independence while offering 24/7 support where needed.

What do you need to know about moving?

It’s not unusual to feel nervous and excited when you’re moving to a new home. It helps to have an idea of what to expect. That’s why we’ve broken down the steps below.

Pre-Planning

You will need to work with a service provider and the NDIA to make sure you will be eligible for Supported Independent Living (SIL). This will require an assessment by a registered Occupational Therapist. You will also need to speak to the NDIA to make sure they consider Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA). SDA is the funding that you require to contribute to the asset or “rent” for the home you will live in.

Step 1

Planning your move – we work with you and your family to make a moving plan that everyone agrees with and understands. We help you think about:

• Where your home will be
• Who you will live with
• What we can do to support you before, during and after your move
• How much will I have to pay to live in this type of accommodation?
• What does my funding cover?

Step 2

Preparing for your new home – we get to know you and learn what’s important to you. We ask you and your family:

• Do you need any equipment?
• Do you need to purchase furniture?
• What’s your usual daily routine?
• What activities, community participation and appointments will you need support with, before and after your move?
• What skills and shared interests would you like staff to have, so they can best support you?
• What does my funding cover?

Step 3

Moving to your new home – on moving day, your moving plan helps things go smoothly because we all know what to expect and we understand the support you need.

Step 4

Settling in to your home – its important to us you feel at home. We will work with you on all the finishing touches to make sure your space is personalized to your needs, comforts and likes.
