This is WHY we never give up!
After a challenging planning meeting in October 2024, the NDIS declined funding for a scooter, bidet, recliner and electric bed for one of our participants, Michael.
Our Support Coordinator went back to the drawing board and brought together a new allied health team, including an OT, Speech Pathologist and Physiotherapist. Working collaboratively, the team completed updated reports which were submitted to the NDIS in February 2026.
In April 2026, we received the news we had been hoping for. All Assistive Technology items were approved, along with additional funding for Core Supports and Capacity Building supports.
This outcome is the result of a true team effort and more than 18 months of advocacy and persistence.
Most importantly, since receiving his Assistive Technology, Michael has been getting out into the community with his support worker and enjoying greater independence.
That's what it's all about. š
