In this episode of SILosophy, Tania Gomez is joined by Jackson Dyer from DLA Piper to discuss the separation of SIL and SDA—one of the most debated topics in the NDIS space.
For years, the NDIA has advocated for the separation of Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) and Supported Independent Living (SIL) to maintain participant choice and control. Jackson unpacks the legal complexities of this issue, what the future of SIL-SDA separation might look like, and how providers can best prepare for potential legislative changes.
This episode also explores conflicts of interest, the role of collaboration agreements, and best-practice approaches to structuring SDA and SIL services ethically and legally. If you’re a SIL or SDA provider, this is a must-listen!
