NDIS Supported Independent Living (SIL) (0115 / 0138) — registration documents & audit readiness

SIL registration became mandatory on 1 July 2026 under the new 0138 class. Providers delivering supported independent living must apply by 1 October 2026 and face a full Core Module certification audit plus the Module 5A SIL standards — the deepest audit in the scheme.

What the audit covers

All 23 Core Module standards plus the Module 5A SIL standards: roster of care, house records, SIL service agreements, the nine tenancy matters under s72E, per-participant and per-house evidence.

Certification pathway: a full audit with a site visit and per-participant evidence sampling — auditors check the work was done, not just that documents exist.

How The Support Register helps

The Support Register tracks your readiness against every standard that applies to 0115 / 0138 — and its green light means the work was actually done: a policy in place, practised, and current. Templates alone never turn a standard green, which is exactly the test an auditor applies.

Frequently asked questions

Is SIL registration mandatory now?

Yes. From 1 July 2026 supported independent living providers must be registered under the new 0138 class. Previously unregistered SIL providers must apply by 1 October 2026 or stop delivering SIL.

Is SIL a verification or certification audit?

Certification — the full Core Module audit plus the Module 5A SIL standards, with a site visit and per-participant evidence sampling.

What evidence do auditors sample in SIL homes?

Rosters of care, house records, tenancy agreements covering the s72E matters, medication and mealtime plans, incident and complaint records tied to real participants — not just policies.
