Living with a disability does not mean living without choice or independence. In Newcastle, individuals and families can access a wide range of supports to live well, connect with community, and receive the right level of care.
At Solid Holistic Care, we provide disability services tailored to each person’s needs, focusing on supported independent living, respite care, community access, and holistic support.
Supported and Independent Living In Newcastle
Finding the right living arrangement is one of the most important steps towards independence. Supported Independent Living (SIL) offers shared accommodation with access to 24/7 support workers, helping participants build skills while enjoying a safe and comfortable home environment.
For those looking for more tailored options, Individualised Living Options (ILO) can be arranged to match a person’s unique lifestyle and preferences. Whether semi-independent or fully supported, ILOs give people choice and flexibility over where and how they live.

Respite Care in Newcastle and Across NSW
Caring for a loved one is rewarding, but it can also be demanding. That’s why respite care is such a valuable part of disability support in Newcastle. Short-term and emergency respite options give carers time to rest and recharge while ensuring their loved one receives professional support.
Respite can be provided in the family home, in community settings, or through dedicated facilities. This flexibility means families can find the right fit for both planned breaks and urgent needs.

Understanding ILO and SIL
What is an ILO?
Individualised Living Options (ILO) are flexible living arrangements tailored around a person’s choices. They are funded by the NDIS and can include shared or private accommodation with varying levels of support. Learn more about ILOs on the NDIS website.
What is SIL?
Supported Independent Living (SIL) provides 24/7 support in shared accommodation, helping participants with daily tasks such as cooking, cleaning, and personal care. SIL is a good option for those who want to live with others while receiving ongoing assistance. Read more about SIL on the NDIS website.
