Q. I have a disability and can’t afford treatments, can I get help?
A. Yes. I know of people getting treatments paid for by the disability & mental health services. It all depends on the individual circumstances. I offer a discount so speak to your therapist they might be able to do something for you.
Q. Who do I contact?
A. You need to contact the disability services and will have to fill out some forms.
There is government funding available each year. If you’re already with a different funding body, speak to them, and ask your therapist to come along.
Q. I am a Therapist and would like to help someone with a disability, they can’t afford the treatments.
A. Get yourself a portfolio with testimonies, articles, what Scenar, massage, reiki…. can do and how it has helped people. You can google for more information. Get with your client and go to the services together, speak to the case manager. You might have to bill the funding body direct and you will have to keep them updated with their progress, get feedback from teachers, parents, spouse.
Q. I am a full time carer and need help.
A. Again speak to Doctors, ozcare, helplines, government services, you both could have, holidays, massages, health equipment (even healing blanket), domestic help, driver, workshops, day care. Also try Smith family, Ronald Mc Donald’s and other foundations. Don’t give up, lots of organizations offer different things that can help you both. Google on the web or check the phone book and go to a disability/carer/…. meeting you find lots of advice. Just ask.
