Supported Independent Living in Western Sydney: Blacktown, Parramatta and Penrith

Western Sydney is one of the fastest-growing parts of NSW, and many NDIS participants want to live close to the family, friends and services they already know.

This guide covers what to know about Supported Independent Living (SIL) and Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) in Western Sydney, including Blacktown, Parramatta, Penrith and surrounding suburbs.

SIL and SDA: a quick refresher

• SIL is NDIS funding for help with everyday tasks at home, like personal care, cooking, cleaning and getting out into the community.
• SDA is NDIS funding for specially designed housing for people with extreme functional impairment or very high support needs.

Many people have SIL only. Some have both. Read our complete guide to SIL in NSW for the full picture.

Why Western Sydney?

• Close to family. Staying in a familiar area helps keep important relationships strong.
• Major hospitals. Blacktown, Westmead and Nepean hospitals are all in the region.
• Transport. The T1 Western Line links Penrith, Blacktown and Parramatta with the city, alongside local bus routes.
• Things to do. Parks, sporting clubs, libraries, shopping centres and community groups give plenty of ways to stay connected.
