NDIS Individualised Living Options in Hocking WA
NDIS Individualised Living Options in Hocking, Western Australia, provides flexible NDIS support that enables participants to live in a home that suits their preferences, lifestyle, and support requirements.
ILO does not fund the physical housing such as rent or property ownership. Instead, ILO funding is used to deliver support within your living arrangement. This includes assistance with daily living, personal care, and maintaining a safe and sustainable home environment. This approach ensures that participants receive support that is tailored to their individual needs rather than being limited by accommodation-based models.
NDIS ILO is particularly suitable for participants who want greater flexibility, more independence, and the ability to create a living arrangement that evolves with their changing goals and support needs.
Building independence through ILO
A core objective of ILO is to support participants in building independence and improving their overall quality of life through consistent and personalised support.
This includes:
- Managing daily living tasks and routines with increasing independence
- Developing practical life skills that support long-term living success
- Building confidence in managing personal care and home responsibilities
- Increasing community participation and social engagement across Western Australia
- Creating a stable and structured living situation that supports wellbeing
Over time, participants can build the capacity to manage more aspects of their daily life independently while still having access to the support they need.
What does ILO support include?
ILO support is designed to be flexible and tailored to each participant’s individual needs, ensuring their living arrangement supports both independence and wellbeing.
ILO services may include:
- Assistance with daily living tasks such as cooking, cleaning, and routines
- Support with personal care including hygiene and self-care activities
- Help with household responsibilities to maintain a safe home environment
- Support to access community participation and social activities
- Skill development to improve independence and daily functioning
These supports are not fixed and can be adjusted over time as your goals, needs, and NDIS plan change, ensuring your arrangement remains effective and sustainable.
Flexible living arrangements tailored to you
ILO allows participants to explore a wide range of living options that are tailored to their preferences and lifestyle.
Your living arrangement can include shared living with a housemate, independent living, or a combination of formal and informal support. Each arrangement is designed around your NDIS plan, ensuring it aligns with your goals and provides long-term stability.
ILO arrangements are also flexible, meaning they can be adjusted as your living situation, goals, and support needs evolve. This ensures participants always have a living arrangement that works for them.
Who can you live with under ILO?
Shared living
A shared living arrangement allows participants to live with a housemate who can provide companionship and support. This arrangement can include both formal support and informal support depending on the participant’s preferences and needs.
Support-based living
Participants may choose to live in a setup where a support worker provides regular assistance. This includes support with daily living, personal care, and maintaining routines that support independence.
Independent living option
Participants who prefer to live independently can choose an arrangement that includes flexible ILO support such as drop-in assistance and support with daily tasks while maintaining full independence in their home.
