Understanding the SDA and SIL Providers Agreements | Debbie Kindness and Minh Le | SDA Mastery

In this video, Debbie Kindness and Minh Le of NDIS Property Australia answer a hot and frequently asked question about the difference between SIL (Supported Independent Living) and SDA (Specialist Disability Accommodation) providers. The video explains that the SDA provider manages the property, tenant agreements, NDIS clients, care providers, and funding from NDIS and Centrelink. On the other hand, the SIL provider is the organisation that actually provides care to the participants living on the property. The video also discusses the complexities of the SIL providers, including the variations in registered and unregistered providers, independent contractor carers, and the role of choice and control for the participants. The video emphasises the importance of a close and careful working relationship between the SIL and SDA providers to ensure successful support delivery.
