How the Right Support Can Help Young Adults Live More Independently

The transition to adulthood can be challenging, especially for young people with disabilities. However, with the right support, it is possible to achieve a more independent, active, and meaningful life. The NDIS (National Disability Insurance Scheme) offers a range of services designed to help young adults reach their goals, even outside Supported Independent Living (SIL) houses.

Among the essential services is In Home Support & Assistance with Daily Life, which provides practical help with day-to-day activities. This may include support with personal hygiene, meal preparation, household chores, and skill-building for independent living.

Another key service is Community Access & Transport, which enables active participation in the community, including transport to appointments, social, educational, or leisure activities.

Outside SIL houses, individualised support becomes even more crucial. A personalised support plan, created around a person’s needs, preferences, and goals, is essential to promote autonomy and wellbeing. Sunshine Family Support stands out by offering exactly this kind of tailored support, ensuring young adults have the right tools to live more independently and with confidence.
