NDIS Services - The Community Support Co

Comprehensive NDIS services

Discover our personalised NDIS support services designed to empower you to live a fulfilling and independent life.

Personalised, compassionate and empowering

We believe in providing care that is as unique as the individuals we support. Our approach is rooted in compassion and tailored to meet the specific needs of each person. By focusing on personalised care plans and empowering our participants to make choices about their care, we ensure that everyone receives the support they need to live fulfilling and independent lives.

Supported independent living

Empowering independence through supported living

The Community Support Co provides assistance with, or supervision of, tasks of daily life in a shared living environment, with a focus on developing the skills of each individual to live as autonomously as possible.

Supported independent living is one type of support to help you live in your home. It includes help or supervision with daily tasks, like personal care or cooking meals. It helps you live as independently as possible, while building your skills. Supported independent living is for people with higher support needs, who need some level of help at home all the time.

Individualised living options

Customised living solutions for your unique lifestyle

There are lots of choices with ILO. You can share your home with friends or housemates or live on your own with the support you need. Individualised Living Options (ILO) is an NDIS funded support package which helps you live the way that best suits you. ILO is flexible, so you can choose the home you live in, who you live with and what supports you need.

ILO funding does not cover the costs of the physical house, but it does support you to live the way you would like to. We’ll work closely with you to find out what you need to start your ILO journey.

Stage one | Exploration and design

This is the first step. We’ll work with you and your support network to understand where you want to live, who you want to live with, what supports you will need in your new home and who you would like to provide that support.

Together, we can then design a plan for the type of living arrangements you would like and the supports you need. This could include things that the NDIS doesn’t fund, like the support you get from friends and family.

The Exploration and Design process can take between 3 – 12 months. At the end of the ILO stage, we will work together to submit an ILO Service Proposal to the NDIA.

The exploration and design stage can be specifically funded by NDIA in your plan through core supports. Alternatively, you are able to use capacity building support coordination funding to explore your home and living preferences, which may include ILO.

Stage two | Supports and monitoring

Once the ILO service proposal has been approved by the NDIA, we will carry out your plan and assist you in settling into your home.

Our dedicated team will provide ongoing support, regularly checking in with you to ensure that everything is working smoothly and to your satisfaction. We understand that needs and circumstances can change, so we are always available to make any necessary adjustments, ensuring that your living arrangements continue to meet your unique requirements and preferences.

What sets ILO apart from SIL?

Individualised living options and supported independent living are remarkably similar. The main difference lies in the NDIS funding. ILO comes from core funding and is designed to be flexible, allowing participants to choose and sustain their preferred way of life.

Supported Independent Living clients are looking for both a home and support packages, whereas ILO clients are essentially looking for supports regardless of where they live. ILO arrangements may involve family, friends, and even neighbours for support, thus bringing a shift towards a genuine home and community lifestyle.
