Phil speaks with Di Geddes, Registered Nurse and founder of Exceptional Care For You, about how federal NDIS cost-cutting is scrapping ‘animal therapy’—a service that helps people with disabilities and health conditions through positive interactions with animals.
Now lumped in with tarot and aromatherapy as ‘complementary therapy,’ it’s no longer funded.
Advocacy groups say the system has become too medicalised and ignores individual needs.
Geddes blames dodgy providers and dishonest participants for rorting the system, saying genuine providers and clients are paying the price—with delays, reduced care, and many struggling to stay afloat.
