Forensic & Justice-Involved SIL

We support NDIS participants who are transitioning out of forensic psychiatric units, correctional facilities, and court-supervised community settings. These are participants who carry legal orders — SACAT guardianship or administration orders, Community Treatment Orders, parole or community supervision conditions, or Ministerial conditions attached to FMHS discharge — and whose SIL provider must be capable of operating within those orders. If you have NDIS funding for Supported Independent Living and your participant requires clinical-grade forensic support, we want to hear from you. Support can be delivered in our SIL homes, Specialist Disability Accommodation, or private rental settings across Adelaide.

Nurse Aid provides Supported Independent Living for NDIS participants transitioning out of forensic psychiatric units, correctional facilities, and court-supervised community settings. These are participants who carry legal orders — SACAT guardianship or administration orders, Community Treatment Orders, parole or community supervision conditions, or Ministerial conditions attached to FMHS discharge — and whose SIL provider must be capable of operating within those orders, not just aware of them. The Forensic Readiness Pack is prepared before every transition. The BSP is on-site and staff are trained on that specific participant's de-escalation framework before move-in. Nurse Aid chairs the multi-agency meeting — you attend, you do not coordinate it.

"You refer the participant to us. We take ownership of the transition — the documentation, the coordination, the clinical management. You stay informed throughout. You do not manage the process for us."
