Individualised Living Option

There are many ways the NDIS can support your choice of living arrangements. One of these is an ILO, or Individualised Living Option.

ILO happens in a home of your chossing. It might be with a host or with house mates.

    • You’re 18 or over, or 17 and thinking about your future living arrangement.

    • You need support at home, whether formal or informal, for at least 6 hours each day.

    • You’re ready to explore your home and living needs, what you’d like, and your options.

    • You’re willing to invest time and effort towards creating your future home.

    • You don't require 24 hour support

    • You’re under 18, unless you’re 17 and thinking about your future living arrangement.

    • You need less than 6 hours of support at home each day, whether formal or informal, and don’t need help with problem-solving at other times.

    • You need 24-hour rostered support from one or more support workers.

    • You need frequent support overnight.

    • Restrictive practice is part of your behaviour support plan, if you have one.

Funding for ILO is in two stages. First, funding is to design your supports, and then the second stage is to implement and maintain your supports.
