Inquiry into Implementation of the National Disability Insurance Scheme and the Provision of Disability Services in New South Wales
Name: Mrs Dale Chapple Date Received: 31 July 2018
Areas I feel need to be considered.
-
Cutbacks on funding for new My plans resulting in the quality and choice of programs being taken away not improved. It can depend on quality of Cos or Lac to what is given to clients instead of needs.
-
Sil quotes - needs to individually based not as a group package. Clients/ family need to be included in negotiations between NDIA and organisation. As the people negotiating don’t even know the person involved.
-
Plan reviews - these need to be done straight away not drawn out for 6 months or more. When needs haven’t been met that needs to be addressed straight away. NDIA appears to be moving away from choice and control over certainty to receive support NEEDED over lifetime.
