Individualised Living Options

Real choice in where and how you live. We don't believe everyone wants to live in a group home — so we create genuinely individualised alternatives for people with complex needs.

Why We Don't Do Group Homes

Most providers offer Supported Independent Living (SIL) in group homes or shared arrangements. We believe this one-size-fits-all approach doesn't work for everyone — especially people with complex needs who may not thrive in group settings.

Our Individualised Living Options (ILO) are genuinely individualised. Whether you want to live alone, with chosen family, or in a carefully matched arrangement, we create support around YOUR preferences, not ours.

Our Philosophy

"Home isn't just where you live — it's where you feel safe, understood, and free to be yourself. That looks different for everyone."

What Makes Our ILO Different

🏡

Your Home, Your Way

Live in your own space — whether that's a studio, house, or unit. We bring support to you, not the other way around.

👤

No Group Home Pressure

We don't force people into shared living arrangements. If you thrive alone or with chosen company, that's what we support.

🧠

Complex Needs Expertise

Specialised support for people whose needs are too complex for standard SIL arrangements.

24/7 When Needed

Intensive support levels including 24/7 care, delivered in your own space with consistency and understanding.

Your Living Options

Solo Living

Your own place with support workers coming to you when needed. Perfect for people who need space, routine, and control over their environment.

  • Complete privacy and autonomy
  • Support schedules that work for you
  • No shared spaces or compromise
  • Sensory-friendly environments

Chosen Family Living

Live with family members, partners, or close friends with professional support supplementing natural supports.

  • Maintain important relationships
  • Professional support when needed
  • Family training and support
  • Respite options available

Matched Arrangements

Carefully matched living arrangements with one other person who shares similar needs, interests, or lifestyle preferences.

  • Thorough compatibility assessment
  • Shared interests and values
  • Individual support plans
  • Separate private spaces

Who Benefits from Our ILO Approach

Our Individualised Living Options are designed for people who need high levels of support but don't suit traditional group home arrangements:

People who need control over their sensory environment and find group living overwhelming or distressing.

Individuals whose behaviours are better managed in predictable, personalised environments rather than group settings.

Social Anxiety or Trauma

People who find social situations challenging or have trauma histories that make group living inappropriate.

Specific Routines and Preferences

Individuals with very particular ways of living that don't align with compromise required in group homes.

High Support Needs

People requiring intensive daily support who need consistency and specialised approaches.

Independence Focused

Individuals working towards greater independence who thrive with personalised support in their own space.

Person-Centred Everything

From the type of home to the support schedule, everything is designed around your preferences, needs, and goals.

Implementation & Support

We'll help you establish your new living arrangement and begin providing the individualised support you need to thrive.

NDIS Funding for ILO

Individualised Living Options are funded through specific NDIS budget categories:

  • Core Supports: Daily living and community access supports
  • Short Term Accommodation: Can sometimes be used for transition periods
  • Capacity Building: Can be used in some cases for skill development to increase independence
  • Supported Independent Living (SIL): Despite the name, this funding can be used for truly individualised arrangements, not just group homes
