About this service

Individualised Living Options (ILO) is an NDIS support that helps participants explore and design living arrangements that suit their preferences, goals, and support needs. Rather than a one-size-fits-all model, ILO considers creative combinations of formal and informal supports to achieve sustainable independent living.

Able Aide supports participants through ILO exploration stages — from understanding options to implementing a tailored living and support arrangement.

How Individualised Living Options (ILO) supports you

  • Flexible living pathways

    Explore options beyond traditional group homes — including co-residency, host arrangements, and tailored support packages.

  • Person-led design

    Your preferences, relationships, and community connections shape the living option we develop together.

  • Stage-based approach

    ILO follows NDIS stages — exploration and design, then implementation — with clear milestones at each step.

  • Integrated support planning

    Living options are designed alongside your broader NDIS supports including SIL, core supports, and coordination.

Frequently asked questions

What living options can ILO include?
ILO can explore various arrangements including living with friends or family with paid supports, co-residency models, host arrangements, and combinations of formal and informal supports. Options depend on your goals and NDIA approval.
Is ILO the same as SIL?
No. ILO is a process for exploring and designing living arrangements. SIL is ongoing funding for support workers in a home. ILO may lead to SIL or other support arrangements as part of the chosen living option.
