At Karakan, we provide 3 home and living support services for our clients. One of those three is our Individualised Living Options, funded by NDIS. This support service is a flexible, personalised approach to helping you live your life, your way. Our team, dedicated to encouraging others, are here to empower you to choose where you live, who you live with, and how you receive support. Whether you want to live alone, with others, or in a host family arrangement, our goal is to assist you in feeling safe and ‘at home’ and guide you to becoming more independent.
The three types of home and living support services include Supported Independent Living (SIL), Individualised Living Options (ILO) and Short-Term Accommodation (STA). These services are designed to promote independence, enhance your quality of life, and support your mental health recovery.
Here at Karakan, we take pride in being a local mental health and psychosocial support service for those who need it the most. Today, we remain a vibrant and sustainable organisation that offers support to people with mental health, psychosocial, and disability needs in building connections and independence within their own communities.
There are a few requirements to being eligible for ILO – but if this service is something you’re considering, know that our team are here to help and would love to discuss the opportunities with you and your family.
Our housing service helps with connecting with others, learning new skills, and gaining a level of independence in areas such as cooking, cleaning, and general housekeeping. In saying that, it’s not all about practical assistance. It’s a unique approach that focuses on putting you at the centre of your living arrangement. Just remember, your family and friends can also be there to support you alongside your paid support.
The best part about our ILO is control being handed over to you. You get to decide how your supports are set up, and we’re here to assist should you need it. This means you get to live your life the way you really want to, with the required support that you need when you need it.
Our ILO support could be a good fit if you’re someone who is an NDIS customer with mental health needs and psychosocial disabilities. If you meet the following criteria, you may be eligible:
Your friends and family can help you make decisions as well as set up your ILO. Don’t forget, here at Karakan, we are always ready to help.
