Sara answers a support coordinator’s question about when the NDIS will fund assistance animals, how to apply (spoiler alert: there’s a lot of paperwork) and what’s included in the funding. Plus, some cute dog pictures, because we couldn’t resist.

There’s a common saying that “there’s no such thing as a free lunch”.

And when it comes to NDIS funding much needed supports for those who need them, that money has to come from somewhere.

Because it’s a Government initiative, the NDIS is funded by all Australians. That means no matter how you look at it, whether you’re a participant, a support worker or an NDIS planner, you’re paying for NDIS supports.

That’s why it’s important for anyone using or working with the NDIS to understand what providers can charge for their services, and use this information to ensure participants get the best possible value from their Plans.
