SIL/SDA/Home Assessments

Home and living assessments examine the support a person needs in their living environment and the options relevant to their circumstances. This includes assessments relevant to Supported Independent Living (SIL), Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) and other home and living arrangements.

These assessments require specific evidence and an agreed assessment scope. Our occupational therapists review each referral to confirm whether the assessment can be provided, and to agree on the scope, timing and costs before work begins.

What a home and living assessment considers

• Daily living and personal care support needs
• Assistance required across routines and settings
• Environmental factors and access
• Informal and formal supports
• Safety and risk considerations
• The relationship between function, environment and support needs

Who may benefit

A home and living assessment may be relevant for:

• People whose disability-related support needs are changing
• People exploring alternative living arrangements
• Participants with home and living goals in their NDIS plan
• Requests requiring updated functional evidence

Important note

SIL, SDA and complex home and living requests require detailed evidence and a clearly agreed assessment scope. HPNT confirms capacity, scope and costs before commencing. We do not guarantee funding, housing or accommodation outcomes.

Funding

Home and living assessments may be funded through an NDIS plan or privately, depending on the purpose and scope. We confirm arrangements before proceeding.
