Individual Living Options (ILO)
A flexible, personalised approach to where and how you live.
Individual Living Options (ILO) gives you greater choice and control over your living situation. Rather than a one-size-fits-all approach, ILO helps you design a living arrangement that truly reflects your goals, preferences, and lifestyle — whether that's living alone with visiting supports, with a host, or in a creative shared arrangement.

- Tailored support designed around your lifestyle
- Host or co-residency arrangements
- Drop-in and on-call support options

Frequently Asked Questions
ILO is an NDIS support that funds a personalised living arrangement for people who want an alternative to group homes or traditional shared accommodation. It can include living alone with support, living with a host family, or other creative arrangements co-designed with you.
SIL typically involves shared accommodation with 24/7 staffing. ILO is more flexible — it focuses on co-designing a unique living arrangement around your preferences, and may involve fewer staff, a different model of support, or a completely different type of home setting.
The Exploration phase is an NDIS-funded period where you work with EverCare to explore your living options, understand what's possible, and clarify your goals and preferences. This leads into a Design phase where the actual arrangement is planned and built around you.
ILO is available to NDIS participants who want a more personalised living arrangement and have support needs that can be met outside a traditional group home. It suits people who value flexibility, autonomy, and a more individualised approach to living.
Yes. One ILO option is a host arrangement, where you live with or near a compatible person (not a family member) who provides informal support alongside your paid NDIS supports. EverCare can help identify and match suitable hosts.
Start by contacting EverCare for an initial conversation. We'll explore whether ILO is included or could be included in your NDIS plan, and walk you through the Exploration and Design process.
