What NDIS Assistance can I get for my Pet?
Pets play an important role in supporting NDIS Participants to achieve their goals and improve their physical and mental well-being and happiness!
We welcome Participants with all types of disabilities. The support you are eligible for depends on your unique impairments and the goals on your NDIS Plan.
Examples of Assistance:
- Community Support: accompanied by your dog. If you would like to make connections or get exercise through relaxed walking.
- Home Support: Assistance with reducing allergies by de-fleaing the household by vacuuming pet bedding, and putting pet bedding in the washing machine and drying on the line. assist you with de-matting, clipping nails, and brushing fur, and doing basic eye and hygiene area trims for pets. Flea shampooing pets with your chosen flea shampoo in your bathtub, shower recess, or backyard and towel drying pets, assistance with watering and feeding pets, hygiene tasks like changing kitty litter, backyard poo patrol, changing puppy training mats, hosing toileting off a back deck
- Pet Boarding during Hospital Treatment. Requires written NDIA pre-approval
Notes for Dog Grooming: We don't do full blown dog breed grooming style cuts - as that is not the purpose of your NDIS funding. What we do offer is value, to help your funding go further, and basic, no frills, assistance and care in your home to make your pet more comfortable, manageable, happy and healthy so that they in turn can provide you with many years of happiness.
Case Studies which involve Dog Walking:
- We have helped Plan-managed psychosocial NDIS Participants with Community Participation by accompanying them to their local park to get to know to other Pet Owners.
- We have helped NDIS clients overcome challenges such as an unsocialised dog that easily triggers and reacts to other dogs when out walking, causing the Owner to have a panic attacks, cutting their own exercise short to immediately head home.
