What Are Individualised Living Options (ILO) Under NDIS?

Individualised Living Options (ILO) come under NDIS-funded supports, which assist a person with a disability to choose whether and how they want to live in the community. The different setups range from living with an accommodating host to sharing a flat with a housemate who is supportive, or an entirely customised arrangement is done. One can have independent living in Perth with ILO-funded support suited to a person’s unique needs, preferences, and goals.

How does ILO differ from SIL (Supported Independent Living)?

• ILO provides flexible, personalised support related to an individual’s goals, while SIL provides structured, 24/7 formal support.
• ILO can provide support informally from family or friends, and paid support, whereas SIL tends to mostly use formal paid support workers.
• ILO supports various living situations, such as living alone, with a host, or housemates; SIL often involves living in shared accommodation with onsite support.

How Compass Care Supports ILO Planning and Setup?
Compass Care supports participants throughout the ILO journey, from initial exploration to implementation. We work closely with you, your Local Area Coordinator (LAC), and NDIS planners to identify your goals and submit the required Supporting Evidence – Home and Living forms. Once funding is given, we assist in designing a tailored service proposal that will help you select the most appropriate living arrangement and support team. Compass Care Team will also sanction your ILO plan for NDIS through plan-management, agency-management, or self-management modality to ensure it satisfies NDIS criteria and is flexible enough to develop as your needs evolve.
