Disability Support • Regulated by NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission
Supported Independent Living (SIL)
Definition: NDIS support provided to participants with higher support needs to live as independently as possible in shared accommodation with 24/7 staff support.
Regulatory Impact & Compliance Overview
SIL providers manage complex 24/7 master rosters covering day, evening, active night, and sleepover shifts. Software must track tenant support ratios, incident logs, medication records, and roster shift handovers.
Governing Authority
Enforced by NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission in Australia. Compliance with these standards is legally required for all licensed and participating care providers.
Automated Compliance
How AsanWork Enforces Supported Independent Living (SIL)
AsanWork builds compliance directly into daily scheduling workflows. Hard compliance stops prevent un-vetted, un-screened, or non-credentialed staff from receiving shift allocations, ensuring 100% audit readiness.
