Garden designer with Duchenne muscular dystrophy gets temporary NDIS reprieve after funding dispute
By
Molly Paynter, Rebecca Norman
Summary
Garden designer Joshua Ruff, a 33-year-old with Duchenne muscular dystrophy who lives on a lavender farm featured on Gardening Australia, has been granted a temporary six-month reprieve by the NDIA after his self-managed NDIS funding was stripped. Ruff had self-managed his funding since 2017, employing trained family members as support workers. While the temporary relief allows him to continue his current arrangements for now, he says the broader fight to maintain control over his care is far from resolved.
