Wings of Care is a team of highly experienced professionals who provide care and assistance to SIL participants.
Wings of Care provides Supported Independent Living (SIL) services through NDIS in Melbourne. As a highly reputable NDIS provider, we offer customised exceptional care for you or your loved ones.
We recognise that each participant in the NDIS has distinct requirements and varying degrees of assistance for independent living, including domestic support, personal care, and daily tasks.
Our commitment is to provide participant-centric supported independent living in Melbourne to help our participants live a more independent and enriched life, centring on their individual priorities and aspirations.
"Supported independent living" (SIL) refers to the funding provided by the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) to enable individuals with varying abilities to live as independently as feasible through the provision of 24/7, in-home support.
Our team of highly trained professionals and experienced support workers, who follow industry best practices, provide uplifting and empowering assistance to help you navigate your daily life. SIL is recommended by the National Disability Insurance Scheme and is especially beneficial for individuals aged 18 and above who require comprehensive support throughout the day.
Typically, we offer Supported Independent Living in Melbourne in a shared living environment tailored to each individual's specific needs. In addition to living arrangements, SIL support may be available if you live in Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA), a private rental property, or even your own home. The primary objective of SIL is to enable people living with disability to live independently and enjoy a higher quality of life.
Our team at Wings of Care are experts in the NDIS SIL field. We are committed to assisting individuals in discovering their strengths and abilities to enhance their overall quality of life. We adhere to NDIS guidelines when it comes to reporting and reviewing health documents, ensuring that we provide the highest level of care possible. We set ourselves apart by offering professional services typically associated with larger corporate Disability Support organisations, but with a personal touch.
We believe that everyone deserves the opportunity to thrive, and we are here to assist you in achieving your goals.
Our Supported Independent Living (SIL) services promote independence, autonomy and self- determination to ensure you get the necessary support to meet your needs. Additionally, we provide a safe and inclusive living environment that fosters dignity, respect and quality of life.

The staff-to-client ratio of our SIL employees varies from 1:1 to 1:2 based on the requirements of each client. We provide 24/7 assistance and encourage clients to engage in community activities, enhance their skills, and achieve their goals.
