​NDIS Funding for Emotional Support Dogs

​

The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) may provide funding for assistance animals, including emotional support dogs, if they are deemed necessary for a participant's health and well-being.

 

To be eligible for funding, the dog must be trained to perform specific tasks related to the participant's disability, such as providing emotional support or alerting to seizures.

 

How to Access NDIS Funding for an Emotional Support Dog

 

• Consult Your NDIS Planner: Discuss your need for an emotional support dog with your NDIS planner. They can help you determine if you are eligible for funding and how to apply.

• Obtain a Medical Certificate: Get a medical certificate from your doctor or a mental health professional that outlines your need for an emotional support dog.

• Choose a Reputable Breeder: Select a reputable breeder who can provide you with a healthy, well-socialized puppy.

• Consider Training: While not always required, training your dog can enhance their ability to provide emotional support.
