Individual Living Options.

At SDS Care, we support people with disabilities to live more independently through flexible, person-centred housing arrangements known as Individual Living Options (ILO).

These tailored supports give you the freedom to design your living situation with greater choice and control over your daily life and living environment.

What Are NDIS Individual Living Options (ILO)?

NDIS Individual Living Options are customised, flexible support packages designed to help participants live in their preferred home setting. ILO arrangements focus on creating personalised, sustainable, and supportive living environments outside of traditional group homes.

• Key goals of ILO include helping you:
• Choose where you want to live
• Decide who you want to live with
• Determine how you want to live
• Explore a variety of individualised housing models

How SDS Care Can Support You

SDS Care works closely with you to explore, plan, and implement the best living arrangement based on your unique needs, goals, and lifestyle preferences.

Some of the ILO options we can help you explore include:

• Living Independently – with the support of family, friends, and paid carers as needed
• Host Arrangements – living in the home of a supportive host who provides day-to-day assistance
• Co-residency – sharing a home with a support worker who receives free or subsidised rent in exchange for providing support
• Shared Living with a Friend – cohabiting with a friend with or without a disability
• Shared Support Model – two or more NDIS participants sharing a home, supports, and household expenses
