Concerns about axing equine assisted learning/therapy for NDIS participants

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

Submission 99

Name: Matt Lindsay

I am an NDIS advocate.

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

I am concerned with the proposed changes about the axing of equine assisted learning/therapy as a funded resource for NDIS participants. I have seen firsthand the beneficial changes for participants engaging in this service, especially when other services have not been able to help beforehand.

I hope the Committee will take all submissions seriously in preparing its report.
