About this Event
SILSDA Victoria 2026 – Maximising SIL Impact Summit
Navigating Reform, Compliance, Housing and Workforce Change in Supported Independent Living
Australia's Leading Strategic Summit for Supported Independent Living Providers
The Supported Independent Living (SIL) sector is entering one of the most significant periods of reform since the introduction of the NDIS.
Funding models are changing. Compliance expectations are increasing. Workforce governance is under greater scrutiny. Housing and tenancy arrangements are being examined more closely than ever before.
For SIL providers, the challenge is no longer simply delivering supports—it is demonstrating compliance, sustainability, quality outcomes, and operational resilience in an increasingly regulated environment.
The SILSDA Victoria – Maximising SIL Impact Summit 2026 brings together sector leaders, policymakers, legal experts, compliance specialists, housing professionals, and disability service providers for a full day of practical insights, strategic guidance, and future-focused discussion.
This is more than a conference.
It is a strategic briefing on the future of Supported Independent Living in Australia.
Why attend?
As the NDIS transitions towards a more controlled, evidence-based and outcomes-focused model, SIL providers must prepare for significant changes including:
✔ Mandatory provider registration requirements
✔ Increased NDIS Commission enforcement activity
✔ New SIL Practice Standards
✔ Strengthened safeguarding and integrity legislation
✔ Funding scrutiny and rostering justification requirements
✔ Tribunal review and funding dispute risks
✔ Workforce capability and governance obligations
✔ SDA, housing and tenancy governance challenges
✔ Evolving support coordination and referral pathways
This summit will help providers understand what is changing, what it means operationally, and how to respond effectively.
