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

Name: Name suppressed Date Received: 9 July 2018

The NDIS in general has been a godsend. Except for a couple of very important issues that I believe should be mandatory to aid the NDIS clients. As in my case they were applied for & were totally overlooked. With these items overlooked it is making travel very restrictive for me, again defeating the purpose of the NDIS 1. Modifications to disabled vehicles 2. Repairs & maintenance to modifications 3. Seatbelts, harnesses & tie downs Home renovations - the time taken is to long as these things are of an access & safety issue. If we cannot use our mobility aids in our house it is a pointless endeavour to offer this facility. My disability is progressive so changes may arise as time goes on.
