A Look Inside Our Chermside SIL Home in Queensland
Supported Independent Living (SIL) means having the right support to live life on your own terms. For NDIS participants in Queensland, this Chermside property offers a quiet, well-connected home where independence and community go hand in hand.
Located in Brisbane’s northside, not far from Upper Mt. Gravatt, the property is close to shops, public transport, and everyday essentials. But more importantly, it’s a place where participants can settle in, build routines, and be supported in a way that suits them.
Thoughtfully Designed for Daily Living
Each apartment at the Chermside SIL home includes:
- One bedroom
- One accessible bathroom
- Open kitchen and living area
- Private laundry
- Balcony
Participants also have access to a swimming pool and communal spaces. Being just a short walk from Westfield Chermside, local parks, the library, and the RSL club makes it easy to stay active and involved in the community — or simply enjoy the nearby surroundings at your own pace.
Support That Fits Your Needs
Support at this home is built around each participant’s NDIS goals. For some, that means daily support with household tasks, medication, or personal care. For others, it may be light-touch help with routines, cooking, or getting to appointments.
What matters is that it’s person-centred. Support workers are there when needed, but the focus is always on encouraging independence and confidence.
Life at Chermside: What a Week Might Look Like
Participants enjoy a mix of scheduled and casual activities. Some weeks include bowling or art classes. Others might involve a group walk to the local markets, music practice, or shared meals. There’s no one-size-fits-all program — participants are encouraged to choose what works for them.
Whether it’s a quiet coffee on the balcony, joining a local event, or just watching the footy with housemates, every moment counts.
Participant Stories
“I never thought I’d be able to live by myself. But moving here changed that. It’s quiet, I feel safe, and the support is there when I need it — not when I don’t. I’ve started going to the library on my own and cooking dinner a few times a week, which I couldn’t do before.”
This participant moved from a busy household where independence felt out of reach. Having their own space, steady routines, and support that doesn’t feel intrusive has helped build confidence and skills that now form part of everyday life.
“As a parent, I was nervous about the idea of my son moving out. But the team took the time to understand his needs and ours. It’s not just about having support — it’s the way they deliver it. He’s happier, more settled, and proud of what he’s managing on his own. That means everything to us.”
This parent shared how the move brought peace of mind for the whole family. After years of caring at home, seeing their son gain confidence in a supported, respectful environment has made the transition feel not just possible — but right.
