ILO in Central Co ast, Sydney | NDIS Housing Options in Newcastle, NSW

The National Disability Insurance Scheme provides various support and services that enhance the quality of life and promote the independence of individuals with disabilities. Individualised Living Options (ILO) is one such NDIS-funded support that helps individuals with disabilities to live in their chosen home environment that best suits their needs, preferences, and aspirations. This could involve sharing a home with housemates or living in the residence of a host. The key lies in the flexibility to structure the living options according to a mix of formal and informal supports, including family, friends, and other networks.

The journey into Individualised Living Options (ILO) unfolds in two stages. The first stage involves exploration and design, where individuals work collaboratively with support teams to determine where they want to live, with whom, the support required, and who will provide that support. This stage aligns with the NDIS funding criteria and ensures that the plan is tailored to the individual’s unique circumstances. The second stage is the practical implementation of the designed support system. This stage is dynamic and responsive to the individual’s living preferences and needs. Individualised Living Option supports encompass a
wide array of services, including decision-making support, personal care, assistance in managing one’s home, building independence, maintaining social connections, and managing emotions or behaviours. Notably, it does not cover rent, mortgage repayments, or everyday costs. ILO support enables NDIS participants to live with housemates which in turn actively contributes to the creation of supportive communities. ILO focuses on community integration, shared living spaces, and the collaboration of formal and informal supports.
