Our Douglas SIL home
A modern four-bedroom, two-bathroom home in Douglas, Townsville, with air-conditioning, built-in wardrobes, a modern kitchen, covered outdoor area and secure backyard. It is close to Townsville University Hospital, James Cook University, shopping and everyday amenities.
How SIL starts
We first review the participant’s goals, funding, support needs, compatibility considerations and any clinical or behavioural requirements. We then work with the participant, family and support team to plan a safe transition.
SIL funding:
Accommodation and support funding are separate. SIL supports can only be delivered in line with the participant’s approved NDIS funding and service agreement.
