One of the primary goals of the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is to
help people with disabilities to live independently and build their capacity to take care of
themselves and become active members of their community.
An important step in being independent in life is when you make choices regarding your living arrangements. Individualised Living Options (ILO) is an NDIS support that enables participants to choose where they live and with whom they live. It also involves the support that the participants will require in their new home environment.
Moving out of parents’ place and having a home of one’s own is an important milestone in adulthood. This seemingly normal transition in the life of an able individual is not the norm when it comes to the lives of people struggling with disabilities.
