Dear National Disability Insurance Agency,

In the history of the NDIS, how many participants or nominees have requested a Thermomix to assist them to prepare and cook food rather than utilise a support worker?

How many Thermomixs have been funded in total?

Please provide any guidance, documents, emails or reports that relate to this.

Yours faithfully,

Karen Reynolds
