Why SIL providers use SILWise
Everything in one place
All your houses, their running costs, and every participant’s rent and board. One source of truth instead of a folder full of spreadsheets.
Centrelink rates that keep themselves current
We maintain the official pension, rent assistance and supplement rates, effective-dated. When indexation lands in March and September, your numbers are already right.
Change once, done
Someone moves in or out, a cost changes, a new rate applies — update it once and every affected charge recalculates. Saved scenarios stay locked for your records.
From spreadsheet to sorted in four steps
No migration project. Add what you already know and the tool does the maths.
- 1
Add your houses and participants
Properties, participant bedrooms, who lives where, and meal arrangements.
- 2
Set your cost centres
Utilities, repairs, consumables and food — customised for you, per house or per participant.
- 3
We apply live Centrelink rates and calculate
Each participant’s rent and board, benchmarked against the official Recommended Rental Contribution and Board Payment benchmarks.
- 4
Save and manage change over time
Lock a scenario for your records, then adjust as people and costs change.
Built for how SIL providers actually work
Indexation used to cost me a full day twice a year, rebuilding the spreadsheet and hoping nothing broke. Now the rates update themselves and every house is right.
SIL provider
“When a family asks why board is what it is, I can sit down and walk them through it line by line. That used to be an awkward conversation. Now it builds trust.”
SIL provider
“Our problem was never one spreadsheet, it was forty of them. Every house now sits on the same methodology, and locked scenarios mean I can stand behind any number we’ve ever issued.”

Questions, answered
Is my data private and secure?
Yes. Each provider’s data is isolated at the database level (row-level security), and everything is hosted in Australia (Sydney region).
How do you keep Centrelink rates up to date?
Rates come from DSS and Services Australia, stored with their effective dates, and updated each indexation (around 20 March and 20 September).
Can I move off my spreadsheet?
Yes. SILWise gives you one central place to build and manage your rent and board charges with your NDIS participants — instead of spreadsheets that get stale and hard to track. Set your house costs and cost centres, add your participants, and SILWise works out each person’s rent and board against the current Centrelink benchmarks.
Who is SILWise for?
NDIS Supported Independent Living providers who manage rent and board for participants.
What counts as a “house”?
Any SIL property you operate. Your plan tier is based on how many active houses you manage.
If rates change, do my saved calculations change?
No. Saved scenarios are frozen for your records. New calculations use the current rates.
