In order to secure SIL funding in an NDIS plan, a participant first has to be assessed as suitable for SIL. Either the participant, their nominee or their support coordinator need to ask the NDIA to assess the participant for SI. The NDIA will need to review evidence in order to decide if someone is eligible for SIL. Currently, an OT (Occupational Therapy) report should be completed by an Occupational Therapist experienced in housing assessments. The OT will report on the best accommodation model for the participant, and make recommendations regarding the ratio of support the participant needs for different activities, such as preparing meals, getting up in the morning, overnight, and when accessing the community. The report will also outline why other accommodation options are not the most suitable for the participant, and outline those that have been previously explored. This report is given to the NDIA, who review this as evidence and then make a decision as to whether the participant is eligible for SIL.
