What is an ILO?
Most NDIS participants either aren’t eligible for funding to live in group homes, or don’t want to live in one. Individualised Living Options (ILO) are a creative way to live in a home that you choose with the support you need. ILOs typically involve one NDIS participant living with a housemate. Some people live with two or three housemates. ILOs can be configured in different ways customised for you.
People who live in ILOs receive NDIS funding which pays for support workers when they need them and a facilitator employed by an ILO provider that ensures the arrangement is working for everyone. The ILO provider also helps find the right housemate match.
Why Choose an ILO?
We’ve heard from people who have lived in group homes that they can feel lonely, have little control over what they eat or where they go, are subjected to communal routines, and don’t choose who moves in. At Milparinka HOME, we support people to design a living arrangement that reflects their own preferences, needs, and aspirations.
We stay with people throughout their ILO journey as a dedicated team of specialists who focus solely on helping individuals build safe, supportive, and truly personalised homes where they can grow and belong.
