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

Submission 84

Name: Amanda Smith

I am a breeder of Labrador’s and Golden Retrievers, I also train dogs that have successfully gone on to guide, support an individual in need on a day-to-day basis, I have also breed and trained dogs that have saved their owners lives,

e.g. Just to name a couple

K9 Buddy (Assistance Dog) saved his boy from a diabetic comber.

K9 Maggie (Therapy dog) saved her Lady from being burnt in a house fire.

K9 Harry (Assistence Dog) takes his girl to school every day and keeps her safe.

K9 Teddy (Therapy dog) keeps his veteran from going into deep depression.

K9 Spike (Assistance Dog) assists his man who has minimal use of his hands due to mining accident. without spike this man would have to depend on social services all the time. For just the simple things like getting dressed pulling the sheet over him in bed. Picking things up that have been dropped.

I can go on but that would take me too long and you probably don’t read them all anyway.

If you take the funding away from these dogs. These pore people wont have a quality of life.

I want to respond to the proposed changes to the NDIS Bill.

I am concerned with the proposed changes about about…

Thank you Amanda.
