Individualised Living Options (ILOs) are a support arrangement developed by the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) that helps those with a disability choose where and how they live, in the way that best suits them. There are lots of choices with ILO and whilst you can share your home with housemates, or live in the home of a host, it is important to note that an ILO arrangement does not provide housing or assist with the cost of the home, such as rent or a mortgage.

ILO is aimed at those with lower to medium support needs – generally around at least 6 hours of in-home supports a day – who don’t want to live in a group home. If you require around the clock supports, another housing option like Supported Independent Living is probably better suited to you. As the name suggests, ILO is built around your individual situation, with a large part of the support focusing on helping you discover the best housing option for you.
