Why Choose Capillary Healthcare?

Real Support. Real Independence. Real Life—with a Dash of Fun.

When you choose Capillary Healthcare for SIL, you’re getting more than a service—you’re getting a team that genuinely wants you to feel happy, safe, and empowered. We’re experts at balancing support with freedom, and we promise not to hover like a helicopter parent.

Our support workers are friendly, down-to-earth humans who love what they do. We’ll help you build skills, grow your confidence, and maybe even discover new talents (like the fact you can cook an entire roast dinner—who knew?). And yes, we’re here to celebrate every little win along the way—even if it’s just finally remembering which day the bins go out.

How It Works

Settle In. Set Your Goals. Make Yourself at Home. Starting your SIL journey is easier than assembling flat-pack furniture (and we’ll help with that too, if you like). We’ll sit down with you to figure out what kind of home suits you best, what supports you want, and how we can make life as comfortable—and as you—as possible.

Whether you prefer to live solo or share with housemates, we’ll tailor a plan that’s all about your goals, your routines, and your idea of a great life. Then we’ll roll up our sleeves and make it happen—no fuss, no pressure, and definitely no boring forms without a friendly face to help you.

SIL Overview & FAQs

Understanding the Supported Independent Living

Therapy session

What is SIL exactly?

Supported Independent Living means 24/7 (or as-needed) help in your own home. It covers things like personal care, household tasks, cooking, budgeting, and building the skills you need to live confidently.

Who can access SIL?

If you have an NDIS plan with SIL funding and need this level of support, you’re eligible. Not sure if you do? We can help you find out.

Can I choose where I live?

Absolutely! We’ll work with you to find a place that feels right—whether that’s living on your own or with others.

Will I have privacy?

Yes. We take your privacy seriously. Our support workers are respectful of your space, routines, and choices.

Is it all serious business?

No way! While we take your support seriously, we believe life should be fun, relaxed, and full of little moments to laugh about.
