Individualised living options
An individualised living option is NDIS support to live the way that suits you. It’s funding to help you make choices about where you live, who you live with and how you want to be supported. First, we provide funding to design your NDIS supports, and then to implement and maintain your NDIS supports.
This NDIS support is designed to give you a sense of home and belonging, and to build independence. You’ll decide who you live with, and how they, and other supports including family, friends and other networks, support you. It can include things like personal care, support to build your skills, or support with household tasks like cooking, cleaning or doing your washing.
Informal supports like family, friends and other networks can complement your NDIS supports. Individualised living option supports are developed by you, with assistance if you need it.
Note: when we say disability support needs, we mean supports you need for the impairments that meet the disability or early intervention requirements, or both.
