Assistance Animal clarity within NDIS

Mrs M Jones made this Freedom of Information request to National Disability Insurance Agency

This request has been closed to new correspondence from the public body. Contact us if you think it ought be re-opened.

The request was partially successful.

Dear National Disability Insurance Agency,

I would like to ask, seeing as there are proposed requirements, for strict evidence base, if riding for the Disabled will still be funded under EI for Autistic children or Assistance animals.

How many Assistance animals (Dogs) have been funded by the NDIA. Why is there still, no consistency with this process or funding.

Yours faithfully,
Mrs M Jones
