Supported Independent Living

Supported Independent Living supports young people aged 15-18 with complex needs in small group settings, offering an alternative to family-based care

This service is available in:

Supported Independent Living (SILS)

Supported Independent Living provides externally supported residential care for young people aged 15 to under 18 who have moderate to complex support needs and are transitioning to independence.

These services offer individual or small group living arrangements in designated residential premises, with support from the SILS team of CQID. While we offer varying levels of support, we typically do not reside on-site and instead assist through regular visits.

 

Who is this service for?

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander young people who:

  • Are aged 15 to under 18
  • Have moderate to complex support needs
  • Are transitioning to independent living

Referrals

Referrals can only be made by Department of Families, Seniors, Disability Services and Child Safety (DoFSDSCS)
