​At Brumby Equine Assisted Therapy, We understand and experienced first hand how the right support can transforms lives. NDIS funding opens doors to growth, independence, and empowerment. We are passionate about creating a safe space where everyone feels seen, heard, and supported through therapeutic services. 

 

Our unique approach combines evidence-based counselling with the option of equine assisted therapy, fostering growth, learning, and wellbeing.

 

Why Choose Us?

​

As a qualified counsellor registered with the Australian Counselling Association (ACA), I integrate counselling and equine assisted therapy to provide a safe, supportive environment where participants can:

• Build confidence and self-esteem

• Improve emotional regulation and communication

• Enhance overall well-being and mindfulness

 

Horses bring a compassionate, non-judgemental presence, creating opportunities for deeper self-awareness and understanding of our world. .

 

Our NDIS-Approved Services

 

We align with the latest NDIS Pricing Arrangements and Price Limits Guide, ensuring:

✅ Fully funded supports with no out-of-pocket costs for participants

✅ Pricing based on the ACA-approved line item for counselling services

 

Our inclusion in the NDI Directory ensures our services meet the National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA) standards, providing participants with confidence and clarity in accessing therapeutic supports.

Equine Assisted Therapy and NDIS

 

Equine assisted therapy (EAT) is recognised under the NDIS as a therapeutic intervention, provided it meets criteria for:

​

• Effectiveness based on best practices

• Value for money compared to alternative supports

• Delivery by qualified professionals

 

Distinguishing Therapeutic vs Recreational Activities:

​

Funding is reserved for therapeutic programs led by professionals, not recreational activities. Participants may work with coordinators to appeal or explore alternative supports if funding decisions change.
