The primary goal of an ILO is to enable individuals with disabilities to live as autonomously as possible while receiving necessary supports.

The Importance of Host Arrangements

Host arrangements, like the one Zoe is seeking, play a crucial role in the NDIS ecosystem. They provide participants with a secure home environment and the chance to share their life with their Host. This living situation can improve the participant’s sense of connection and belonging to their community.

To ensure the safety and well-being of both the participant and the Host, NDIS registered providers oversee these arrangements. They are responsible for:
