Service Schedule SIL Template

Introduction

The SIL Template module provides the organisation with an interface for the creation of supported living templates related with the provision of NDIS funded SIL services.. SIL templates can either be configured for group (NDIS participants in shared accommodation) or individual (participants that live on their own) based services. The record is comprised of four elements, that include the Template profile, the clients whose supported living needs will be managed, the staff rostered to provide the care / living support and supervision and the employee to client roster ratio based upon the SIL parameters assigned to the SIL service types used within the template.

Additional Information

Prior to establishing your SIL template you will need to ensure the following activities have been undertaken:

Establishing the SIL service type(s) .
Establishing the Service Schedule SIL Group.
Assigning the SIL service type(s) into the applicable pricelist.
Assignment of the SIL service type(s) to the participant funding records that have supported living needs.
