SIL Supplementary Module Add-On

Templates for providers registered, or applying, for registration group 0138 (Assistance with supported independent living), written against the supported independent living supplementary module (Module 5A). 29 editable templates: the six core SIL documents (SIL policy and procedure, SIL service agreement, schedule of supports and typical week, property inspection checklist, SIL-SDA working agreement and participant matching profile), plus templates covering supported decision-making, safeguarding in shared and individual living, practice governance and worker competency, tenancy and housing arrangements, co-tenant matching and consultation, visitors, keys and private space, the Module 5A service agreement schedule, and an evidence register and audit preparation checklist.

Who it is for: providers delivering supported independent living who are registered, or applying for registration, and will be assessed against Module 5A by certification. Includes the six SIL documents from the Core Library, so every SIL-specific document the module refers to is in the pack. The module also refers by code to general Core Library documents, such as the Site Emergency Plan, Individual Emergency Plan, NDIS Reportable Incidents Process Guide and Complaints Management Policy. If you have your own core policies and procedures, replace those references with yours.

Why now: from 1 July 2026 SIL may only be delivered by a registered provider, and Module 5A commenced the same day, so certification audits for SIL now include it. Providers already delivering SIL before 1 July 2026 can continue only if they applied for registration before 1 October 2026. These templates give you a documented starting point; they need customising to your service and implementing in practice, and no template pack can guarantee registration or audit outcomes.
