DSS Engage invite you to make a submission to help shape the future of assistance animals in Australia.
Assistance animals are animals trained to support the independence and wellbeing of people with disability. Assistance animal users have a right to have their animal with them, the same as any other disability support.
Despite this, assistance animal users experience a number of barriers in their daily lives, including assistance animals being refused entry to businesses or transport. There is also a lack of recognition of the important support assistance animals provide.
