ILO

Housing Supports for NDIS Participants

Individualised Living Options (ILO) Housing Supports

Lower to Medium Support Needs

We offer housing supports for NDIS participants that have lower to medium support needs for at least 6 hours per day.

Our ILO (Individual Living Options) program allows participants to live independently in a home setting while still receiving support when needed.

If you or someone you know is an NDIS participant with lower to medium support needs, we may be able to assist with housing supports.

Property in Gold Coast

As part of our B Corp commitment to social justice, we currently have a property in the Gold Coast that is available from June for 3 NDIS participants.

The property is ideal for participants with low to medium support needs who want to live in a quiet, health-focused environment.

The property is rented to participants at a lower cost than the average rental price, making it an affordable option for those on a limited budget. If you or someone you know is interested in renting this property, please reach out for more information.

Participant Contributions

Participants who rent our property in the Gold Coast are responsible for funding their own rent.

The rent is offered at a cheaper rate as part of our commitment to social justice.

Participants are also responsible for contributing towards any utility bills and food/drink expenses as they are living in their own home, which is not covered by NDIS funding.

If you have any questions about our ILO housing supports or the rental property in the Gold Coast, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us for more information.
