    SIL & Support Needs Assessments

    Independent occupational therapy evidence for the help a person needs across a full day and night — built around function, safety and choice.

    01

    Full 24-hour support analysis

    02

    1:1, shared and 2:1 support evidence

    03

    Active and inactive overnight needs

    04

    Independent of the SIL provider

    What to expect

    Clear evidence, grounded in daily life

    01

    More than a total number of hours

    A strong SIL report explains what assistance is needed, when it is needed and why. Assessment may cover personal care, domestic activities, cognition, behaviour, mobility, medication, community access, supervision and overnight safety.

    • Current and proposed living arrangements
    • Informal and formal support capacity
    • Risk when support is unavailable
    • Opportunities for independence and shared support

    02

    Participant-centred recommendations

    Recommendations should not be shaped around a provider's preferred roster. We consider the participant's routines, preferences, goals, environment and support network, then describe a proportionate staffing model supported by functional evidence.
