Advocacy groups for people with disabilities are still imperative regardless of the implementation of the NDIS. Our needs are many and varied. The NDIS has been an enormous help to me, however, there were some items I applied for that were refused for what I could only describe as ‘excuses’ to cut funding. I feel there should be greater flexibility, within reason, for people with disabilities focusing on their health and well being, as this often reduces the amount of care, or medical care, they require. This pertains to both physical and mental health. Prevention is the best cure and also more economical in the long run for the Government. Thank you for opportunity to voice my experiences and opinions.
