Choose where to start
SIL
Supported Independent Living
Help with daily life in a shared or single home, rostered around your plan and the people you live with.
- Good fit for
- People who want to live away from family with support on hand every day.
- Usual funding
- Usually funded as SIL in the Core supports part of an NDIS plan. SIL pays for support, never for rent, food or bills.
In-home
In-home support
Personal care, household tasks and building skills, in the home you already have, at the times that suit you.
- Good fit for
- People living on their own or with family who want the same familiar workers.
- Usual funding
- Usually funded from Core supports (Assistance with Daily Life), and sometimes Capacity Building for skills.
Community
Community participation
Getting out to the things you love, one to one or in a small group, and building the confidence to do more of them.
- Good fit for
- People with goals about friends, work, study or getting around.
- Usual funding
- Usually funded from Core supports (Assistance with Social, Economic and Community Participation), or Capacity Building.
Side by side
How the three compare
A general guide. What you can use depends on your plan, and the NDIA decides what is funded.

Not sure which one fits?
Four short questions about where you live and what you want from your week point you to the support that fits. No details needed.
Together
How the three work together
Most people do not fit neatly into one box, and they do not have to. These examples are illustrations, not real people, but they show how support can be put together.
Living in SIL, out on Saturdays
Daily support at home with housemates, plus a regular Saturday swim and travel training on the bus. Community support is usually funded separately from SIL.
At home with family, building skills
Help with personal care most mornings, a weekly cooking session to learn a few meals, and an art class with a small group.
Just the mornings
A familiar worker for the morning routine, four days a week. Nothing more, because nothing more is needed.
One team, if you want it. When you use more than one of our services, the people supporting you can share what they need to know, with your permission, so you do not have to repeat yourself.
Your choice, always. You can use other providers for any part of your plan, and your support never depends on where you live. Read your choice, protected and our standards.
Also available
Other supports we are registered for
Alongside our three main services, we are registered with the NDIS Commission for these supports. Whether they suit you depends on your goals and what the NDIA has funded in your plan.
Help with travel and transport
Getting to work, appointments, classes and community activities, with a worker who drives you or travels with you. Transport is usually funded from Core supports, and how it is set out can differ from plan to plan.

Support through a life stage transition
Short-term help to plan for and manage a big change, such as leaving school, moving out of the family home or coming home after a hospital stay. It is about working out what you need and getting the right supports in place, and is usually funded from Capacity Building.
Registration group 0106
Building life skills
Hands-on help to learn the skills for a more independent life, like cooking a few meals, managing money, using public transport or looking after your home. It is usually funded from Capacity Building, and the aim is to do more for yourself over time.

Do I have to use Manora Care for everything?
No. You can use us for one part of your plan and other providers for the rest. Your support never depends on using another of our services. Read your choice, protected.
Which service is right for me?
It depends on where you live, how much support you need and what you want from your week. Our find the right support guide asks four short questions, or you can simply talk to us.
