Mum's fight to help son living with severe disability

Zac Bryant's favourite place in the world is the park.

Growing up in a world he couldn't understand, Zac's care needs quickly surpassed what his mum Dani could offer.

"Zac is 18 years old, he has a severe disability, he's non-verbal, he has a mindset between one and five years old," she said.

"I got extremely assaulted by Zac and I was put into hospital myself with a concussion twice in a week.

"I just thought, 'I can't keep doing this'."

She turned to the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS), receiving a package which gave Zac the chance to live a semi-independent life.

But Dani claims a lot of Zac's first providers were unregistered and filed little information on their work.

Instead Zac's condition deteriorated to the point he was hospitalised.
