A four-year-old non-verbal boy has not been able to access about $27,000 worth of his NDIS funding for two years — since coming into the care of child protection services — his grandmother says.

In March 2021, child safety services in Victoria had Noah's* mother, who was battling drug addiction, relinquish care, making Noah's grandmother his carer.
