Is this funded by the NDIS?
No, the NDIS does not fund pets, companion animals, or any associated costs such as food, insurance, grooming, or veterinary services. This is outlined in the List of supports that are not NDIS Supports PDF (p.6), where pet-related costs are considered day-to-day living expenses not related to disability support needs..

These costs are not funded by the NDIS, so you will need to pay for these privately.
