Individualised Living Options โ Life on Your Terms
ILO is NDIS funding for creative, flexible living arrangements that go beyond the standard โ designed entirely around how you want to live, who you want to live with, and what independence means to you.
Individualised Living Options (ILO) is designed for people who want something different โ creative, flexible, and built entirely around their goals and lifestyle rather than a standard programme.
Whether that means living with a host family, a friend, in your own place with targeted support, or a co-residency arrangement โ ILO makes it possible. Pacific Community Care helps you design, implement, and sustain the arrangement that genuinely works for you.
ILO is a flexible, participant-designed approach to home and living support. Unlike SIL, it is not tied to a specific housing model โ it is about finding the right arrangement for you, then building the right supports around it.
There are two components: ILO exploration (funded time to design your arrangement) and ILO implementation (the ongoing support to make it work). Pacific Community Care assists with both.
- NDIS participants who want a creative, non-standard living arrangement
- People who want to live with a trusted friend, family member, or host โ with NDIS support
- Individuals designing a genuinely personalised approach to independent living
- Participants exploring alternatives to group homes or standard SIL
