How PetCloud supports Health Practitioners and Support Coordinators<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As a health practitioner or support coordinator, your priority is the well-being of your patients or participants. When they face urgent hospitalization, or rehabilitation, one of the most pressing concerns is often, “Who will take care of my pet?” PetCloud is the solution that offers fast crisis support pet care, knowing that their pets will be cared for in home-based environment. By recommending PetCloud, you\u2019re not just providing pet care; you\u2019re helping to reduce the emotional stress and anxiety that often accompany sudden hospital admissions.<\/p>\n\n\n

Psychiatric Patients sometimes share that they don’t want to leave their pets behind while they seek treatment as their pet is a great source of security, affection and happiness and they may not have a network of family and friends they can rely on for their pet’s care.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

What is PetCloud?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

PetCloud<\/a> fills a critical gap in Australia\u2019s support services, as there is no other national charity or government service offering this level of tailored, ancillary care support to assist a Participant in fulfilling their legal duty of care<\/a> for animals while they are seeking treatment. PetCloud’s platform connects Pet Owners to services that are designed to complement NDIS-funded care and address a unique need not covered elsewhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PetCloud’s NDIS Support Workers are known for being willing and flexible to visit Patients in hospital car parks with their pets, or nearby dog parks, and with Nurse permission, even bring pets inside the hospital for a short visit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the most powerful things about PetCloud is it’s unique pet jobs board<\/a> which is a massive time-saver. It’s fast and free to post a job, this sends out a job alert in a 25km radius and available Sitters apply.<\/p>\n\n\n

    It’s Reasonable and Necessary<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    All Pet Owners, including NDIS Participants, have a legal duty of care<\/a> for animals while they are seeking treatment. That legal duty of care states that Pet Owners must ensure animals are watered, fed, sheltered.  Pet Owners can face legal prosecution<\/strong> if their pets are abandoned and neglected. <\/p>\n\n\n

    Pets aren’t a piece of furniture to be left in a locked house, unattended to, if a Pet Owner has to go to hospital or respite. They are dependent, living, sentient beings that experience fear, hunger, distress, and happiness – just like humans do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    NDIS Participants are vulnerable and require a high level of security checks and training as the Support Worker may be accessing their home while they are in hospital or rehabilitation, how PetCloud makes that person ready for you is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
