Your Home. Your Choices. Your Life.

We started Mazcare because we believed care should fit the person, not the other way around. If you or someone you love needs support to live independently, we want to be the team that makes it happen.

A Real Home —
Not an Institution.

A lot of people hear Supported Independent Living and picture a group home or something institutional. That is not what we are about. SIL means having a real home, one that feels like yours, with a support worker there to help with the things you find difficult, so you can get on with living your life.

The NDIS funds SIL to cover practical daily support: getting ready in the morning, cooking meals, keeping the place tidy, and getting out into the community. But good SIL support goes beyond that. The goal is always to help you do more for yourself over time, not to have someone do everything for you indefinitely.

SIL tends to suit people who need a hand with day-to-day tasks like personal care or cooking, are ready to take a step toward more independent living, are moving out of the family home or a care facility, have complex or high-intensity support needs, or need overnight or round-the-clock support at home.

“Growth. Not dependence.”

Is SIL Right For You?

SIL tends to suit people who fit one or more of the situations below — and if you’re unsure, a quick call is always the fastest way to find out.

Support Built Around
What Matters to You.

Every support plan looks different, and it should. When someone starts with Mazcare, we sit down and work out what matters most to them right now, and where they want to be in six months or a year. Then we build support around that.

We help with personal care and morning routines, medication prompts, overnight support, meal planning and cooking, grocery shopping, cleaning, laundry, bills and appointments. We also work on the bigger stuff, budgeting, using public transport, building community connections, and making real decisions about your own life. Getting out to social activities, staying connected to family and culture, and linking in with allied health professionals all form part of what we do.
The aim is always growth. Not dependence.

Anyone Ready to
Live More Independently.

The short answer: anyone who wants to live more independently but needs consistent support to do it well.

People come to us from all kinds of situations. Some have lived with family their whole lives and are taking this step for the first time. Others are moving on from a living arrangement that was not working. Some have been through a change in health or circumstances. A few are parents planning making sure their son or daughter has something solid in place for the future.

We have experience supporting Muslim families from a range of backgrounds, including Iraq, Syria, Jordan, Bangladesh, Singapore, Lebanon, and Indonesia. We understand the importance of respecting faith, family values, dietary requirements, and cultural preferences in everyday support.  who want support that reflects their values, such as halal food, modesty during personal care, and a worker who understands their culture without having to explain it every time. That matters to us, and we build it into the plan from day one.

If you are not sure whether SIL is right for your situation, just call us. We would rather have a straight conversation than have you spend weeks trying to figure it out alone.

Care Without
Judgement.

Our service is built on 17 years of disability sector experience , and the feedback we hear most often from families is not about paperwork. It is about the workers. He actually knows my son. She treats my daughter like a person, not a client. That kind of relationship does not happen by accident.

We aim to provide a small and consistent team of support workers so participants can build familiarity, trust, and strong relationships over time. Your support worker gets to know your preferences, your habits, and your history. That is not a bonus feature. It is the whole point.

For families from Arab, Muslim, and other culturally diverse communities across Western Sydney, finding care that feels respectful of their background is genuinely hard. We get that. We match workers where we can, accommodate religious observance and dietary needs as standard, and never ask a family to accept support that does not feel right.

Some providers shy away from participants with complex behaviour support needs. We do not. Our team has decades of real-world experience in this space, and we do not walk away when things get hard. Families who have been turned down elsewhere often find that we are the provider who says yes and means it.

We also keep families in the loop from the start, work alongside allied health professionals, and hold ourselves to one firm commitment: we do not drop participants without proper notice and a genuine plan.

Supporting Families Across Western Sydney

We Live and Work in These Communities.

We are a local team. Our support workers are based in the communities they work in, which means they know the area, understand the culture, and are genuinely part of the same neighbourhoods as our participants.
We currently provide services across Chester Hill, Bankstown, Fairfield, Auburn, Merrylands, Parramatta, Blacktown, and the surrounding suburbs. Not sure if we cover your area? Just call us.

Questions People Usually Ask

SIL, Explained Simply.

What is Supported Independent Living (SIL)?

Supported Independent Living is an NDIS-funded support that helps people with disability live as independently as possible in their own home. It covers assistance with daily tasks, life skills, and everyday routines, while always encouraging greater independence over time. It is real life, just with the right support around it.

How do I know if I can get SIL funding?

SIL sits under Support Category 10 in an NDIS plan. Your support coordinator or NDIS planner can walk you through eligibility, or just call us, and we will point you in the right direction.

Can support be set up around my specific needs?

Always. We spend time getting to know the participant before anything starts, build a plan around that conversation — not a template — and review it regularly as things change.

Will my family member always have the same workers?

We do everything we can to make that happen, because consistency is what makes support actually work.
