ABOUT US

Independent Living Assessment (ILA) is a for-purpose organisation based in Perth, Western Australia. The organisation began its life as part of Independent Living Centre WA.

Our purpose is to provide nationally competitive and individualised supports, knowledge, and tools that enable and enhance living well in the community through delivery of a range of assessment, navigation, and community and sector capacity building initiatives.
