SCL Support Services
Supported Independent Living
Your home. Your rules. Our support.
Supported Independent Living is regular support provided in your home to help with everyday life. For some people that means support across much of the day. For others it may include scheduled, shared or overnight support.
At SCL, we look beyond the roster. We want to understand how you like your home to run, what you want more independence with, who you are comfortable living and spending time with, and what a good ordinary day looks like for you.
What this support can include
Support shaped around real life.
Everyday routines
Support with the parts of daily life where you want a hand, while keeping your own routines at the centre.
Home and household
Help with practical parts of living at home, from meals and household tasks to planning the day.
Building independence
Work on skills and confidence at your own pace rather than having everything done for you.
Consistent support
Thoughtful worker matching and continuity wherever possible, with support adjusted as life changes.
Home first
It should still feel like your home.
Your support team works in your home, but your home should never feel like a workplace. Your privacy, routines, preferences and choices remain central to how support is delivered.

Our approach
Home first. Roster second.
We plan around the person and the household rather than trying to make someone fit an existing roster. That means understanding routines, support needs, communication, preferences and, in shared living, compatibility with the other people in the home.
Getting started
Three steps, explained clearly.
- 01
Talk about home and support needs
Tell us what support you need, what matters in your daily routine and the kind of living arrangement you are looking for.
- 02
Work through the practical fit
We consider support requirements, staffing, location and, where relevant, compatibility within a shared home.
- 03
Plan the start together
Once the arrangement is right, we put the practical supports in place and keep reviewing what needs to change.
