Maximum amounts from the NDIS Pricing Schedule 2026-27. Shared support is divided by the number of people sharing it, as the Schedule sets for group-based supports. The NDIA funds SIL from the roster of care you submit; this is an estimate to plan with, not a quote the NDIA has approved.
How SIL is priced
Supported independent living is help with daily tasks in a shared home, often around the clock. Each hour is priced at the SIL item for its time band, from weekday daytime through to public holidays, and high intensity support has its own higher limits. Overnight cover is either a night-time sleepover, priced per night, or active overnight support at the weekday night rate.
Sharing the cost
Most SIL support is shared. When one worker supports three residents, the Pricing Schedule divides the price limit by three for each resident. Enter how many residents share each line and the calculator does the division, line by line.
Not sure whether a night is a sleepover or active support? The Sleepover or Active Nighttool works it out under both the NDIS and SCHADS rules. In Rostery, SIL houses are rostered with ratios and sleepovers, and each resident’s share is invoiced at the right item automatically.

Questions people ask
What is a roster of care?
A roster of care sets out the support a supported independent living (SIL) house needs across a typical week: the hours of support at each time of day, how many residents share each worker, and the nights covered by a sleepover or an active night. The NDIA uses it to work out SIL funding.
How is shared SIL support divided between residents?
The NDIS Pricing Schedule 2026-27 says that for a support delivered to more than one person at the same time, the amount a provider may claim from each participant is the applicable maximum amount divided by the number of people in the group. So one worker supporting three residents for an hour is the hourly limit divided by three for each resident.
What is the difference between standard and high intensity SIL?
High intensity SIL is support that needs a worker with one or more of the high intensity support skills in the NDIS practice standards, such as complex bowel care or enteral feeding. It has its own, higher price limits for every time band.
Which registration group should I use?
The 2026-27 catalogue lists SIL under registration group 0138 Supported Independent Living and 0115 Assistance in Supported Independent Living, with the same price limits. Use the group your registration and the participant’s plan use.
Is this the amount the NDIA will fund?
No. It prices a roster at the maximum amounts in the Pricing Schedule. The NDIA decides SIL funding from the roster of care and the participant’s needs, and you can agree prices below the limits.
