Calling for People with Disability’s Access to Assistance Animals to be Protected
Disability Representative Organisations released a joint statement about the National Assistance Animal Framework. Inclusion Australia is part of the statement. It is led by Australian Autism Alliance.
The NDIS currently funds dog guides for:
• the blind community,
• the D/deaf community,
• for people with physical disability, and
• for some people with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).
The submission talks about how the regulations need to be the same around Australia. To design these regulations, there must be co-design with the disability community.
