Looks like you can download it here: iLife Support 8.3.1

This download isn't iLife- it's a support app for the suite of apps that make up iLife.

It doesn't seem like Apple offers the iLife app suite for OS X any more. The only page I could find on it now redirects you to the Mac App Store (which isn't even accessible with macOS versions lower than 10.6.6) and isn't even helpful, as iPhoto has been deprecated and replaced with Photos, iDVD is obsolete, and iMovie isn't compatible any more. You can take a look at it here if you want, though.

Your best bet is to contact Apple Support to see if the download is still offered - Contact - Official Apple Support

Indeed, but they don't offer it officially anymore. All versions of the iLife suite have been discontinued, with only GarageBand and iMovie remaining- iPhotos has been replaced with Photos, and iDVD and iWeb are obsolete.

The Internet Archive has downloads of both iLife '06 and iLife '08, but I can't guarantee their authenticity. Your best bet is to contact Apple about it.
