The Blue Mountains: A Peaceful Setting for Supported Independent Living

Stretching across one of Australia’s most iconic natural landscapes, Blue Mountains City Council offers a unique combination of tranquillity, community support, and essential services, making it an ideal location for Supported Independent Living (SIL). For NDIS participants seeking a nurturing environment with access to care, connection, and independence, the Blue Mountains provides a truly empowering lifestyle. 

Why the Blue Mountains is a Great Choice for SIL 

  • The region is served by the Blue Mountains District ANZAC Memorial Hospital in Katoomba, alongside additional services accessible via nearby hubs like Penrith and Nepean. 
  • Across towns like Katoomba, Springwood, and Lawson, residents can access accessible libraries, community centres, and recreational spaces. Many local programs are designed to promote inclusion, skill-building, and social connection for people living with disability. 
  • Blue Mountains City Council is committed to accessibility and inclusion, with ongoing upgrades to public infrastructure, inclusive playgrounds, and community engagement initiatives. SIL homes in the region are often designed with accessibility and independence in mind. 
  • The area is well-connected via accessible train services to Sydney CBD, Penrith, and Lithgow, making it suitable for those who value both peaceful living and access to broader services and opportunities. 
  • Residents enjoy world-renowned natural attractions such as Echo Point, Scenic World, and Leura Cascades, many of which offer accessible viewing platforms and facilities. The clean air, slower pace, and natural beauty contribute to a calming and health-supportive lifestyle. 

 

Empowering Independence in a Natural Setting 

The Blue Mountains offers a rare combination of tranquillity, support, and accessibility. The region provides the infrastructure, services, and community spirit to help people with disability live the life they choose.
