Seeing Eye Dogs Show: NDIS and SED Veterinary Symposium

24 August 2018

Presented by Kennel Attendant and actor Cam Faull, the Seeing Eye Dogs Show, broadcast on Vision Australia Radio, is your guide to the incredible work that goes on behind the scenes at Seeing Eye Dogs.

Broadcast fortnightly, the show will also bring you all of the latest in dog health, puppy and foster caring, interviews with experts and more.

On the latest edition, Cam talks to Seeing Eye Dogs Service Engagement Consultant Teish Watson about the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) and what it means for SED and SED clients.

“Funding has been pulled from organisations to the [NDIS] to give to participants, which is a good thing,” Teish said.

“If you live with a disability and have a goal to secure employment, you might need a whole range of different services to facilitate that goal. Examples might be adaptive technology, mobility support in the form of a Seeing Eye Dog... Each plan is different and that’s because it’s based on person to person,” she said.

This week’s show also features SED’s Manager of Dog Development Dr Nicola Cotton, who discusses the upcoming Seeing Eye Dogs Veterinary Symposium.

“It’s an exciting opportunity to get people together in the same place and learn from each other,” Dr Cotton said.

“We’re so excited and so pleased that we’re being supported by expert speakers. We have a number of professionals and specialists who are speaking.”
