EPISODE 170 - A Family's fight for correct SDA funding at the AAT

In this episode, Minh and Brendon sit down and talk about an email received in our office, sent by a family in QLD who wanted to touch base with Brendon and let him know that they were inspired to hear about Brendon's battle for appropriate SDA funding after going through the AAT. This family has also been through the AAT three times over the last 2 years, and had almost given up hope, until they heard Brendon's story on our channel.Brendon talks about how there are some law firms doing pro bono work for NDIS participants fighting the NDIS, but more importantly how hard it is to navigate the legal process of battling the NDIA for correct funding. This episode is all about revealing to our listeners the other side of NDIS - and that is, the path to 'choice and control'. It's when Participant's and the families that support them, struggle for this simple right to get 'choice and control' when it comes to accomodation, and how they live their lives struggling to achieve independence.This Participant's story highlights the challenges many face in the NDIS in their pursuit for 1:1 and not 2:1 care. Let's take a moment to appreciate the strength and resilience of those who fight for their rights in the face of adversity. If you have a Participant story you want to tell us about, please reach out to Brendon on email - [email protected]#NDIS #SDA #DisabilityRights--GOALS:It is our goal to see Participants with high-needs disabilities being appropriately housed in accommodation that is right for them.
