In the recording of this much-anticipated community forum you will hear directly from the NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission and explore practical pathways to continue self-managing and self-directing supports under the new requirements. 

The changes to Supported Independent Living (SIL), with mandatory registration for SIL providers, commences 1 July 2026. These changes are intended to strengthen safeguards in shared living and higher-risk support settings, but they are also creating significant uncertainty for people who self-manage and self-direct their supports. 

Many participants and families are asking: 

  • Will self-managed and self-directed arrangements still be possible? 
  • Will people living outside group homes be affected? 
  • What options exist to remain compliant while retaining choice and control? 
  • What do these changes mean for self-management, direct employment, and SIL funding in their plans? 

Watch the recording now to hear directly from the people doing the work.

Self Manager Hub will continue to advocate for choice and control and to ensure that changes do not negatively impact on people who self-manage and self-direct their supports.
