Federal Government releases list of supports able to be funded by NDIS

The Government has confirmed key details of changes to the National Disability Insurance Scheme due to come into effect in two days. The biggest change is a definitive list of what NDIS money can and can't be used for. Anything directly linked to a person's disability will be included such as accredited assistance animals or domestic assistance. NDIS funds can't be used for drugs or alcohol, or services not guided by scientific evidence such as cuddle therapy. The list is part of a range of changes which were recommended by a review into the scheme. Kurt Fearnley gave this interview prior to the list being made public.
