Live life your way with Supported Independent Living (SIL) in South Australia

Get help to live more independently with the right support in place.

At estara, we know how important a safe, comfortable and happy home is to living well. If you are living with a disability and need help at home, we provide supported independent living (SIL) services across regional and metro South Australia. Our services are designed for people who want to live independently while receiving regular assistance with daily tasks. We offer 24/7 support in both shared and individual living arrangements—personalised to your needs, goals, and lifestyle. 

What makes estara's Supported Independent Living different?  

We’ve been providing in-home care to people living with a disability long before the NDIS existed. Now a registered NDIS provider, we remain committed to providing person-centred care which puts you in control of how you live your life.  

If  you are moving out of your family home or are keen to find a place that is a better fit for you, we carefully choose homes that suit a diverse range of needs.

Once you are in one of our SIL homes, we will work with you to ensure our staff receive training about your individual care needs and goals.

Our support workers are backed by a broader team of allied health professionals including OTs, physios and nurses who can assist with specific needs, home modifications and assessments. We are also a registered NDIS provider which means you can count on us to provide high quality services and safeguarding.

  • We provide support for people with a wide range of physical, intellectual, psychosocial, and neurological disabilities. 

    Our team works with you to ensure the support you receive matches your goals and level of independence. This can include: 

    • Assistance with daily tasks such as cooking and personal care 

    • Support with mobility aids, transport, and managing appointments 

    • Encouragement to stay connected with your community through social and recreational activities 

    We respect individual needs and will work with you to document you goals and preferences. We will work with you to implement supported decision making across your journey with us. At estara, you matter and we are committed to supporting you to have choice and control to live your life the way you want.  

  • Everyone’s housing needs are different. That’s why we offer a range of disability supported living options. 

    Services include: 

    • Shared living – A home shared with others, with personalised support available throughout the day and night. 

    • Individual units – Private, self-contained spaces with regular support to help you manage daily routines. 

    • Tailored options – Specialised arrangements for people with higher support needs or specific requirements. 

    • Your own property we can come to you to help you stay in your home and community.  

    Some homes can accommodate pets and special interests like gardening. Our services and homes are located in communities across metro Adelaide and regionally in the South East, Mid-North, Yorke Peninsula, Eyre Peninsula and Riverland. 

  • We understand not everyone likes to share a home but sometimes, due to needs and funding, this may be the most suitable option, To make sure it works for you, we have a considered approach to matching the right participants to each other to create a harmonious, happy and safe community in our properties. This includes organising meet and greets with potential participants, assessing applications for shared interests amongst tenants and finding the right fit in terms of age, gender and support needs.  

  • You can expect daily life to involve our support workers coming in to assist you with  tasks. They might also take you out to attend appointments or activities in the community – or for a cup of coffee by the beach. Where you are sharing accommodation you might spend time with other residents, use the shared spaces or enjoy your own company in your own space. Depending on your interests, we will help you connect to the people or activities you love and we’ll also provide access to events through our broader estara community

  • As a registered NDIS provider,estara has a positive behaviour support coordinator who can work with you and your practitioner and therapy team to deliver any behaviour support plans that you have.
