NDIS Individual Living Options (ILO) for Gold Coast Residents

NDIS Individual Living Options (ILO) are a fantastic way for people with disabilities to live as independently as possible – and that includes in the comfort of the home you already live in. Whether you’re based on the Gold Coast, in Brisbane, Ipswich, or Logan, Aspire Hub is here to help you access and make the most of ILO supports.

In this blog, we break down what ILO is, who it’s for, and how you can start your journey toward more independent living.

What Are NDIS Individual Living Options?

Individual Living Options (ILO) are flexible, tailored support packages that help you live how and where you want. Unlike some other NDIS housing types like Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA), ILO is not a kind of home – it’s a package of supports that can be delivered in a home of your choosing.

You can receive ILO while living:

• In your current home (with family, friends, or independently)

• In a new home that you choose

• In a home that Aspire Hub helps you find

Each ILO package is customised to your individual needs. Depending on your goals and support requirements, it may include:

Examples of ILO Supports:

• Assistance in deciding where and how you want to live

• Personal care (e.g. help with shopping, cooking, budgeting)

• Support to manage your own home

• Help to build independence and life skills

• Social connection and community inclusion

• Decision-making support for day-to-day tasks

• Behavioural or emotional support

• Help from informal supports (e.g. neighbours, friends, volunteers)

• On-call support for when you need help

• Training for your support network

⚠️ Important: ILO funding cannot be used to cover rent, mortgage payments or household bills. It is strictly for support services.

Who Is Eligible for ILO?

ILO is best suited to people who want to live more independently — but who still need regular support to do so safely and successfully.

You might be a good fit for ILO if:

• You’re 18 or older

• You require at least 6 hours of daily support

• You don’t need overnight or high-level nursing care

• You want an alternative to shared housing or SIL

• You have a strong network of informal supports (e.g. family, friends, neighbours)

It’s important to note that you can’t receive funding for ILO and Supported Independent Living (SIL) at the same time – they are separate and distinct arrangements.
