Individual Living Option (ILO)


The NDIS is providing increased funding options to support people with a disability to live more inclusively – in a regular house, on a regular street, in a welcoming community. Individual Living Options (ILO) focus on working with the participant and their family to consider their needs and preferences, and design a flexible package of supports. ILOs are designed around a client, one client at a time. Individual living options are often a viable alternative to a group home. 

Types of accommodation arrangements that suit ILO funding:

Co-Residency ―  support resides full time or part time in the participant’s home.
Host Arrangements ― participant resides full time in the home of a non related host who provides support. 
Living Alone ―  support is provided in the home of the participant in a variety of ways. 
Living Together ― participant lives with other people of their choice and receives support.

Unique Support offer ILO services, including:

Generating a quote for approval from the NDIS
Assisting in finding accommodation
