When providing evidence to access the NDIS, you will have the best chance for success if you provide information on your permanent impairment, and how it substantially reduces your functional capacity or ability to undertake day to day activities.

A common question our NDIS Navigators get is "What assistive technology can I use my NDIS funds for to help with acquired brain injury?"

We asked our resident OT to tell us what type of equipment she regularly prescribes to assist NDIS Participants with acquired brain injury.

SIL is typically required in the home for participants with complex acquired brain injuries. This resource focuses on Supported Independent Living (SIL) and the eligibility requirements for SIL.

Find out what an Acquired Brain Injury (ABI) is, the symptoms experienced, how it compares to an intellectual disability, and what NDIS funding is available.

Whether you are applying for funding for SIL, or are already accessing SIL services, it is important to understand how SIL is funded in your NDIS plan and what is included and excluded when it comes to SIL supports. 

There is often confusion about how SIL can be funded in your home or a home you share with others.
