Looking for disability supports or supported accommodation for yourself, a loved one, or a client? You might have heard of ILO NDIS, but what exactly does it mean \u2014 and how can you access it?<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s everything you need to know about NDIS Individual Living Options (ILO): what it is, how it works, who it\u2019s for, and how to get started.<\/p>\n

What is NDIS ILO?<\/h3>\n

NDIS Individual Living Options (ILO) is a support package designed to help you set up the right living arrangement for your individual needs. It\u2019s important to note that ILO doesn\u2019t fund the cost of accommodation itself \u2014 instead, it funds the supports you need to live independently in your chosen home.<\/p>\n

ILO is delivered in two key stages:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \n

    Exploring Your Options \u2013 This is where you plan what kind of living setup is right for you. You\u2019ll decide where you want to live, who you want to live with, what supports you\u2019ll need, and who will provide them.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  2. \n

    Setting Up Your Supports \u2013 Once you\u2019ve made your choices, this stage is all about putting them into action. That might include moving into a new home and starting your tailored supports.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    What Does an ILO NDIS Provider Do?<\/h3>\n

    An ILO provider helps you design and organise the right supports for how and where you want to live. They\u2019ll work with you to understand your goals, your preferences, and your lifestyle. Then they\u2019ll help you build a personalised support plan that fits.<\/p>\n

    At Aspire Hub, we tailor our ILO services to suit your needs, your goals, and your vision for your ideal living arrangement \u2014 so you can get the most out of your home life.<\/p>\n

    What\u2019s the Difference Between ILO and SIL?<\/h3>\n

    This is a common question.<\/p>\n

    ILO (Individual Living Options) is a flexible package of supports that helps you live the way you want, often in your own home or with housemates of your choosing. It can include up to 24 hours of support per day, but is generally more flexible and personalised than SIL.<\/p>\n

    SIL (Supported Independent Living) is more structured and typically includes 24\/7 rostered staff. It\u2019s often used in shared accommodation settings with ongoing paid support around the clock.<\/p>\n
