A complete Supported Independent Living documentation and audit-preparation system aligned with the SIL Practice Standards.

Includes supported decision-making, safeguarding, shared-living compatibility, tenancy and support separation, worker competency, emergency planning and governance oversight.

Full product description

Supported Independent Living is about more than delivering rostered supports. Providers must demonstrate that participants have genuine choice in their home, are involved in decisions, feel safe with co-tenants and workers, and understand the separation between housing and support arrangements.

The Module 5A Supported Independent Living Documentation System provides a structured framework across the four SIL Practice Standard outcomes:

  • Supported decision-making
  • Safeguarding
  • Practice governance
  • Agreements about tenancy, housing and support arrangements

The pack supports participant-led household decisions, co-tenant consultation, shared-living safeguarding, worker capability, emergency planning and transparent housing and support arrangements.

What is included

  • SIL practice-governance policy
  • Supported decision-making policy
  • Shared-living safeguarding and conflict policy
  • Tenancy, housing and support-separation policy
  • Participant decision-support profile
  • Shared-living safeguarding and compatibility assessment
  • Vacancy and co-tenant consultation record
  • Household decision-making record
  • Tenancy and service-agreement explanation record
  • SIL service-agreement schedule
  • Worker training and practice-observation record
  • Shared-living emergency planning and drill record
  • Implementation and applicability guide
  • Audit evidence checklist
  • Interview and home-observation guide
  • Accessible participant rights guide
  • SIL governance and safeguarding Excel register

Best suited to

Registered NDIS providers delivering Supported Independent Living services.

Important

Module 5A is separate from Module 5 Specialist Disability Accommodation. SIL providers must still customise the documents for their housing arrangements, provider structure, participants, workforce and applicable State or Territory tenancy laws.

Choose the right purchasing path

Complete your Certification documentation system

This standalone module provides specialist documentation only. Add the Core Certification Audit Pack or select a bundle when you also need the organisation-wide Core system.

Your Initial Scope of Audit is the source of truth. Select only the Core and supplementary modules that apply to your registration groups and actual services.

Audit preparation

Turn your specialist module into operational evidence

This specialist module does not replace the organisation-wide governance, workforce, participant-support and audit-preparation documentation contained in the Core Certification Audit Pack.

Frequently asked questions

Before purchasing a specialist module

Understand how this product fits into your wider Certification documentation system.

Is this a complete Certification documentation system?

No. This product contains specialist documentation for the module named on this product page.

It is designed to supplement the organisation-wide policies, procedures, forms, registers and audit tools contained in the Core Certification Audit Pack.

Do I also need the Core Certification Audit Pack?

Providers generally require an organisation-wide Core documentation foundation alongside applicable supplementary modules.

Review your Initial Scope of Audit to confirm the standards and modules relevant to your application. When you need both products, select the Core + Specialist Module bundle.

What if I already own the Core Audit Pack?

You can purchase this module as a standalone add-on and integrate it with your existing Core Certification documentation system.

Review cross-references and responsibilities across both systems so your final documentation remains connected and consistent.

How do I know whether this module applies to my organisation?

Check the standards and modules shown in your Initial Scope of Audit and confirm that they match your registration groups and actual service delivery.

Contact your Approved Quality Auditor when you need clarification about the scope or evidence expected for your audit.

Can I use the documents immediately after downloading?

The files are editable templates and must be customised before operational use.

You must add your organisation’s details, assign responsibilities, adapt procedures, obtain approval, train workers and begin maintaining genuine operational records.

Are the documents editable?

Yes. The product contains editable files in the formats described on the product page.

Retain an untouched master copy before creating your organisation’s controlled working documents.

Does purchasing this module guarantee audit success?

No. Templates cannot guarantee registration, certification or a particular audit outcome.

Audit outcomes depend on the standards that apply, the accuracy and suitability of your documentation, implementation, records, worker practice, participant experience and other evidence reviewed by the auditor.

Is this product approved by the NDIS Commission?

No. Launchly is not the NDIS Commission, and this documentation is not approved or endorsed by the NDIS Commission.

The templates have been independently developed to support provider documentation and audit preparation.

What evidence may my auditor review?

The evidence required depends on the module, your services, participants, workforce and audit scope.

Evidence may include approved procedures, participant records, assessments, plans, reviews, worker qualifications, competency records, registers, monitoring results, meeting records, incidents, corrective actions and improvement activities.

What if my organisation has not started delivering supports?

Contact your Approved Quality Auditor early to confirm the evidence and sampling approach that applies to a new provider.

You should still be prepared to demonstrate governance, workforce readiness, approved procedures, implemented systems and the evidence currently available.

Does this product cover every State and Territory requirement?

No template system can prescribe every requirement that may apply to every provider, location, profession or service.

You remain responsible for reviewing applicable Commonwealth, State and Territory legislation, professional standards, authorisation requirements and participant-specific directions.

Can this module replace legal, clinical or professional advice?

No. The documents are operational templates and audit-preparation resources.

They do not replace legal advice, clinical directions, professional judgement, practitioner instructions or guidance from your Approved Quality Auditor.
