FAQs about STA

What is Stage 1?

Kukoon’s ILO team helps with Stage 1. It is all about exploring and designing the individualised living option supports you want and need. You’ll work out where you want to live, with who, what support you’ll need, and who you want to provide that support. At the end of this stage our NDIS Individualised Living Options team will complete a service proposal form.

What is Stage 2?

Stage 2 is where the Kukoon ILO team puts supports in place. The support depends on how and where you want to live, and what supports you need. This could include things NDIS don’t fund, like the support you get from friends and family. You can change your Individualised Living Option supports if your needs change. They’ll be designed to provide the safety, stability, and flexibility you need.

What is ILO not?

ILO is not:

  • Funding for where you live or home modifications.
  • Support for activities outside your home, such as work or study, playing sport or going out.
  • An arrangement where you don’t get to choose who you live with.
  • A program of set supports or services that don’t reflect your preferences or needs.
