Independent Living Options (ILO)

Independent Living Options (ILO) give you the freedom to design your life the way you want it. 


Unlike Supported Independent Living (SIL), which is more structured and managed for you, ILO allows you to have full choice and control. 



You decide what support you need, how you want it, and how you use your funding.


What Makes ILO Different to SIL?

SIL is a done-for-you service. It provides a home and the support you need, but it follows a set structure that is managed by others.

Your Choice, Your Life

ILO is about putting you in charge. You decide what kind of help suits you best, whether that’s someone staying with you overnight, popping in for daily support, or anything in between. It’s all flexible and tailored to what works for you.

Flexibility That Fits Your Needs


No two people are the same, and ILO respects that. You get to choose how you live and the type of help that works best. 

Want to share a home with a friend? Prefer having someone around occasionally? The choice is yours.


How ILO Supports You


  • Design Your Own Support: Build a support network that suits your needs, from friends, family, or support workers.


  • Freedom to Choose: You decide what services you want, and how often you need them.


  • Stay in Your Community: Pick a living situation that lets you stay close to your favourite places and people.

Why ILO Could Be Right for You


If you want independence with the support you need, ILO gives you that balance. It lets you shape the services around your lifestyle, not the other way around. 



You have the flexibility to change what support looks like as your needs evolve.
