SIL Support Designed for Women
We provide long-term Supported Independent Living for women aged 20 and over with psychosocial disability and complex mental health needs.
More than just care, we offer community, stability, and a safe place to call home.
What Is Supported Independent Living?
Supported Independent Living is more than just housing. It is support designed around you. SIL is an NDIS funded service that helps participants live independently with daily assistance tailored to their unique needs including personal care, meals, household tasks and more.
Our SIL is provided in a small women-only home in Cranbourne where 24 hours a day, seven days a week consistent support combines with a calm and welcoming environment. This is support that feels like family not just care.
What Daily Life Looks Like at Valma Avenue
How We Do SIL Differently

Real Choice and Control
We partner with each woman to define independence on her terms, putting her in charge of her support.
Direct, Honest Communication
Families and support coordinators have direct access to our team — no call centres or confusing handovers.
