SIL vacancies in Newcastle and Maitland

3 vacancies across 2 Supported Independent Living homes in Chisholm and Raworth — wheelchair-accessible, registered for high intensity supports, with 24/7 on-call behind every shift.

Most people land on a page like this after a frustrating search. Vacancy lists go stale, providers advertise rooms that filled months ago, and it is hard to tell whether anyone will call you back. So here is the position plainly: we have 3 vacancies right now, and this page is generated from the same source as our capacity board, so it cannot quietly drift out of date while nobody is looking.

Both homes are in the Maitland area — Chisholm and Raworth — within easy reach of Newcastle, Lake Macquarie and the wider Hunter. They are single-level and fully wheelchair-accessible, and both are registered for high intensity supports, with support workers trained by our own registered nurses.

The thing that actually determines whether a SIL placement works is not the building. It is who else lives there, whether the support model matches the support genuinely needed, and whether the staff team is stable enough for someone to build trust with. We would rather hold a room than fill it badly, and we will tell you if we do not think a match is right — even with a bed sitting empty.

Raworth SIL

Raworth, NSW

Our Raworth home sits in a quiet, leafy pocket on Maitland's eastern side — historic Morpeth around the corner, with Green Hills shopping centre and the new Maitland Hospital an easy drive away.

Questions about SIL vacancies

Do you have SIL vacancies in Newcastle or Maitland right now?

Yes — 3 across 2 homes, in Chisholm and Raworth, both in the Maitland area and an easy drive from Newcastle. This page is generated from the same source as our capacity board, so the number above is the number we actually have. If it says vacancies, they are real.

How quickly can someone move in?

That depends far more on compatibility than on paperwork. Once we have talked with the person, their family and their support coordinator, and everyone has visited, a move can happen quickly. What we will not do is rush a match to fill a room — a placement that breaks down costs the participant far more than a few extra weeks would have.

Can you support high or complex needs in these homes?

Yes. Both homes are registered for high intensity supports, with staff trained by our own registered nurses, clinical oversight from our psychologists and nurses, and the 24/7 on-call team behind every shift. Support ratios of 1:1, 1:2 and 1:3 are all available.

Are the homes wheelchair accessible?

Both are fully wheelchair-accessible, single-level homes, and each has a dedicated wheelchair-accessible van alongside access to our wider fleet.

I am a support coordinator — how do I refer someone?

Use the referral form on this site, or call 1300 206 309 and ask for intake. Tell us about the person rather than just the funding: what a good day looks like, what they need around them, and what has not worked before. That is what determines whether a household works, and it is the part we most want to get right before anyone visits.

Does SIL cover the rent?

No. SIL funds the support workers, never rent, board, groceries or utilities — those are paid from the person's own income like anyone else. If specialist housing is needed because of disability, that is a separate NDIS support called SDA, assessed separately.

More detail on how Supported Independent Living works is on the SIL service page, and our guide comparing SIL, ILO and STA explains which support fits which situation.
