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.

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.
