National Disability Insurance Scheme Amendment (Getting the NDIS Back on Track No. 1) Bill 2024

Submission 240

Hi,

I have been notified that Bill Shorten is a about to remove Equine Therapy from NDIS funding.

Animal assisted therapies are helping thousands of people in Australia. Not everyone can benefit from sitting on an office counselling. I have seen participants improve their connections with families and carers through Animal Assisted Therapies and it will be a tragedy to remove them.

Please do not remove Animal Assisted Therapies for the sake of NDIS participants. It will be a huge loss.

Thanks & kind regards,

Angela Davis
