ILO NDIS Little Mountain
For many established providers (and some new ones too) ILO is a major paradigm shift. It shifts decision-making authority from you as the provider to the person with disability and their family or supporters. This is an enormous change in mindset, especially for those who have been socialised to think in terms of paid services, business and service models and policies and procedures.
Unlike traditional group home arrangements, ILO funding can be used flexibly to purchase a mix of home-based support options tailored for each individual. This could include living with a friend, housemate or host; a shared arrangement with non-related people; or your own place with tailored drop-in supports.
There are a few things to note about the OG, which is actually written by ILO NDIS Little Mountain and for participants (yay) – as well as being fairly accessible. First, it confirms that the Stage 1 Exploration and Design criterion is a key determinant of the ILO funding that will be awarded at that stage (Section 34). It also provides a helpful prompt to explain how your primary and supplementary ILO supports will meet reasonable and necessary criteria. And, predictably, there is some additional helpful detail around how your ILO plans will evolve and be redesigned over the life of the plan.
