Individualised Living Options (ILO)

Individualised Living Options (ILO) represent a support framework established by the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) aimed at assisting individuals with disabilities in selecting their preferred living arrangements tailored to their needs and preferences. With ILO, individuals have various choices, such as sharing a home with housemates or residing in a host’s home. It’s crucial to understand that while ILO offers support in choosing living arrangements, it does not provide housing or cover housing expenses like rent or mortgages.

ILO caters to individuals with lower to medium support needs, typically requiring at least 6 hours of in-home support per day, who prefer not to reside in a group home. For those needing round-the-clock support, other housing options like Supported Independent Living may be more suitable. As the name suggests, ILO is centered around individual circumstances, with a significant focus on assisting individuals in determining the most suitable housing option.

Stages of ILO

Stage 1 – Exploration and Design:

This initial stage involves collaborating closely with a professional, often a support coordinator, to:

  • Explore available living arrangements
  • Evaluate pros and cons
  • Assess support from informal networks
  • Design a support package tailored to individual choice

The outcome is a Service Proposal document containing all necessary information for the NDIS to allocate funding for accessing required supports in the home.

Stage 2 – Supports

The second stage involves implementing the Service Proposal and transitioning to the new home. ILO funding covers two main types of supports:

  • Primary supports Main supports received while in the home, such as hosts, housemates, or support workers. ILO funding directly compensates them or indirectly through mechanisms like rent reductions.
  • Supplementary supports Additional supports used when primary supports are unavailable or for specific needs, ensuring flexibility and adaptability to changing requirements.
