Supported Independent Living Gympie – Empowering You to Live More Independently
At Lily Rose Retreats, our Supported Independent Living (SIL) services in Gympie are designed to empower NDIS participants to live confidently, comfortably, and independently — with the right assistance every step of the way. We believe that every individual deserves dignity, respect, and the freedom to make personal choices about daily living. Our SIL support combines compassionate care, encouragement, and skill-building to support independence in a safe, nurturing environment.
Our experienced team provides tailored support to participants with a wide range of needs, helping them build everyday life skills, develop routines, engage socially, manage responsibilities, and ultimately live a meaningful and enriching life.
What is Supported Independent Living (SIL)?
Supported Independent Living refers to ongoing support provided to individuals who require assistance with daily tasks in order to live independently, either in shared homes or in private living arrangements. SIL can include help with:
Day-to-day personal activities
Home management responsibilities
Community participation
Meal preparation
Meal Health and medication assistance
Health and medication assistance
Skill-building to support long-term independence
Our SIL service is built on the core principle that independence looks different for everyone. Some may need a little help — others may require more. Our approach is never one-size-fits-all — we tailor our support to match individual capabilities, goals, and preferences.
Why Choose Our Supported Independent Living in Gympie?
Choosing the right SIL provider is an important decision for participants and their families. Here’s why participants trust Lily Rose Retreats:
A warm, family-focused environment
Our organisation is built on a family-care model — meaning participants are welcomed as part of our community, not just as clients. Warmth, compassion, and inclusion are at the heart of everything we do.
Highly-trained, caring support workers
Our team members are hand-selected for both their skill and empathy. We work with professionals who genuinely care about the wellbeing of the individuals they support.
Stunning location & peaceful setting
Our SIL arrangements offer safe, comfortable, and accessible spaces in the broader Gympie and Sunshine Coast region. The calm environment supports emotional wellness, community interaction, and a relaxed daily lifestyle.

Our goal is to help each participant reach their highest level of autonomy. We guide, encourage, and support — but we also step back to allow independence and decision-making.
