Overview:
This support aims to promote independence in daily activities within a shared living environment.
Service Details:
Assistance in Supported Independent Living (SIL) provides crucial support for NDIS participants requiring help with daily tasks. These services are customised to fit individual needs, ensuring participants receive the necessary level of support to thrive in a shared living situation. The assistance covers personal care, skill development, and community participation, delivered by trained professionals.
Participant Outcomes:
Participants gain enhanced life skills, bolstering their ability to live autonomously. This targeted support fosters community interaction, empowering participants to engage with their surrounding environments confidently. Improved personal-care routines and increased social opportunities are significant outcomes, leading to better overall quality of life.
Impact Statement:
By facilitating a blend of independence and support, Assistance in SIL markedly improves participants' living conditions, fostering a sense of belonging and societal contribution.
Cancellation
Providers can only claim from a participant’s plan for a Short Notice Cancellation of the delivery of a support item to the participant if all of the following conditions are met:
- The NDIS Pricing Arrangements and Price Limits indicates that providers can claim for Short Notice Cancellations in respect of that support item; and
- The proposed charges for the activities comply with the NDIS Pricing Arrangements and Price Limits; and
- The provider has the agreement of the participant in advance (that is, the service agreement between the participant and provider should specify that Short Notice Cancellations can be
claimed); and - The provider was not able to find alternative billable work for the relevant worker and are required to pay the worker for the time that would have been spent providing the support.
Claims for a short notice cancellation should be made using the same support item as would have been used if the support had been delivered, using the “Cancellation” option in the myplace portal.
There is no hard limit on the number of short notice cancellations (or no shows) for which a provider can claim in respect of a participant. However, providers have a duty of care to their participants and if a participant has an unusual number of cancellations, then the provider should seek to understand why they are occurring.
The NDIA will monitor claims for cancellations and may contact providers who have a participant with an unusual number of cancellations.
