What is Individual Living Options (ILO)?
An Individualised Living Option (ILO) is an NDIS support that lets NDIS participants choose the home they live in and set up supports in the way that best suits them. An ILO is a package of supports that can help people live how they want in the home environment they have chosen. It’s not the home itself.
ILO supports will let people work out how they want to live and who they want to live with. There are choices with ILO; people can choose to live with their friends, house mates or on their own with tailored support.
ILO is funded in two parts. The first stage is all about exploring and designing supports that best suit the person. This will then help work out where they want to live, who they want to live with, what support they would need and who they want to provide the required support.
The second stage is implementing those supports. The supports will depend on how and where you want to live and what you require support with. This can also include any support the person receives from friends and family. The ILO support package can be changed if the persons needs change and will be designed to provide the safety, stability and flexibility of the person.
