AddressOur organisation:
At Supporting Independent Living Cooperative (SILC) , we believe that people with disability with their families, are in the best position to make decisions about where they live, who they live with, and who supports them. We believe that great outcomes are achieved when families are actively involved in the person’s life.
SILC is a cooperative and a NDIS registered provider. We assist families to set up a cooperative to run a family governed home for their family member. Our experience is that people with disability who have a network of informal supports (family and friends), who have the desire and belief that self directing will provide the choice and control they are seeking, are best placed to succeed in this model.
Our values:
Shared Purpose - We prioritise cooperation and share learning to support staff and families in our SILC community. We collaborate for the common purpose of achieving outcomes for our participants
Integrity - We are brave in the pursuit of supported independence for our participants. We strive for excellence and are authentic and honest with our cooperative.
Learning - We make time to reflect on our values and how we can continually grow. We enable, empower and equip each other to flourish our actions, thoughts and deeds.
Creative - We are out of the box thinkers and take joy in exploring new possibilities for our participants and their families. We challenge convention to assist participants to live their best life.
