Create a home that works for you

Individualised Living Options (ILO) is all about creating a home that works for you. It’s not a one-size-fits-all approach. It’s shaped to your preferences, lifestyle, and aspirations. You can:

  • Choose to live with friends, family, or housemates.
  • Opt for living with a mentor or host who provides additional support.
  • Live on your own with the right supports in place.

 

This support is delivered in two stages:

  1. Exploration and design – talk to your support team about your living choices, make a plan for the best place for you to live, and figure out what kind of help you’ll need.
  2. Support implementation – once you have a plan, the right supports will be put in place to make sure your living situation is successful and sustainable.

 

Individualised Living Options is about more than just a place to live, It’s about creating a home where you feel safe, supported, and independent. It’s designed to help you build meaningful relationships, develop life skills, and live the life you choose.

It includes planning, setting up supports, and monitoring to ensure your chosen living arrangement is sustainable and successful.
