Individualised living options (ILO) is support to live the way that suits you, it allows you to use your funded supports to live in your chosen home environment. It can include things like personal care, help to build your skills, or support with household tasks like shopping or cooking.

ILO can include a mix of both formal and informal supports, the NDIS provides funding for formal supports and informal supports (family, friends and social networks) and can complement your paid supports.

ILO supports are developed with you. They’ll be designed to help you have a sense of home and belonging, to build independence. The ILO supports you use will depend on your choices. This includes choices about where you live, who you live with and how you want to be supported. First, we’ll support you to help design your ILO. Then, we’ll work out what supports we can fund to implement the ILO.

ILO does not include support for activities outside of your home (work, study, going out), if you need supports for these activities it will be included in other parts of your plan.
