Home NDIS services Home and living support Individualised living options (ILO)
Your home, your choice.
NDIS Individualised Living Options (ILO) on the Sunshine Coast, with flexible, personalised support to help you live more independently, your way.
ILO is the support, not the house
An ILO is an NDIS-funded support package that helps you live in the home you choose, in the way that suits you best. It isn’t the home itself. It lets you design a mix of NDIS-funded and informal supports, from family, friends, neighbours or community, so you can live safely and independently.
Rooms open

A new, move-in ready home on the Sunshine Coast, with three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a private pool and a large backyard.

See how a shared home with ILO can look
Our Palmview home
A brand-new four-bedroom home in Harmony Estate, with large private bedrooms and ensuites, modern accessible design and fully furnished shared spaces.
This home is full at the moment. Nirimba has rooms open that can run as ILO, or we can tell you when a room comes up here.
We’ll draw it up together
Every part of your ILO gets its own room in the plan, from the first chat to the reviews down the track.
Design and exploration
1 Get to know what you want We spend time with you to understand your independence and privacy, where you’d like to live, who with, and any access or technology needs.
2 Map support and budget We work out what family and friends can do, what needs NDIS-funded support, and realistic costs.
3 Draw up your ILO plan Together we design your plan: where you’ll live, who with, what supports cover, and how it all fits. Then we prepare the documents for the NDIS.
Putting it in place
4 Find the right people We help you recruit and onboard support workers or host carers, and organise orientation for family and friends.
5 Set up your home We liaise with occupational therapists and physios on equipment or changes like ramps and lever taps, and set up on-call and emergency contacts.
6 Keep it running We schedule support visits, coordinate back-up for nights, weekends and emergencies, and stay in touch with your informal supports.
7 Review and adjust We check in at milestones like 3 and 6 months. If your needs or housemates change, or you move, we help with the paperwork and budget.
Who a shared home with ILO may suit
Our shared homes with ILO support may suit people with:
A minimum of 6 hours a day of NDIS-funded supports Approved for ILO, or seeking ILO approval
An ILO doesn’t have to be in one of our homes. It could be a private rental, a host home, or living with family or friends.
We’re the central hub
ILO brings together funded and informal support, so we coordinate with:
Support workers and host carers Family, friends and neighbours Occupational therapists, physiotherapists and behaviour specialists NDIS planners and Local Area Coordinators
Why people choose us for ILO
Experience with ILO From first design proposals to allied health assessments and NDIS funding approvals, and we keep up with NDIS policy.
Strengths-based We focus on your skills and networks, and plan around what you want, whether that’s privacy, connection or new skills.
Safe, stable and flexible We do home safety assessments, and can reallocate hours or update budgets and rosters when life changes.
In it for the long term We check in on your independence, connections and wellbeing, and advocate when you need new supports.
Questions about ILO
Does ILO pay for the house? ILO funds an arrangement for support. It doesn’t buy or rent the home for you, so ask us about housing options separately.
Do I need to know who I want to live with? You can start by sharing what you do know, such as where you’d like to be or what kind of support helps you at home.
What if my needs change later? We can reallocate hours or adjust your support mix, and help update budgets, rosters and funding if you move or change housemates.
NDIS guidance on Individualised Living Options . ILO arrangements are subject to individual approval.
What happens when you ask
You tell us what you’re after The home you like, the support you need, and anything you’re unsure about. Call us or send a note.
We talk it through We go over the room, the rent, your NDIS funding and whether the home could suit you.
You come and see it If it looks right, we arrange a private inspection so you can look around in person.
