INQUIRY INTO IMPLEMENTATION OF THE NATIONAL DISABILITY INSURANCE SCHEME AND THE PROVISION OF DISABILITY SERVICES IN NEW SOUTH WALES

Name: Mr Wayne Wright Date Received: 2 August 2018

Advocacy funding needs to continue as a lot of the time it’s the only place I can get help from. NDIS needs to be looked at as it takes way to long for equipment to be approved. The NDIS seriously needs to look at the rules for vehicles that can have modifications done by NDIS. The people making the rules need to realise that there a lot of people that cannot afford to buy a new car or with such low kilometers as the system says. I am a double leg amputee trying to get to study and retrain but cannot as I cannot get anywhere to as I cannot get funding to get modifications for my car.
