INQUIRY INTO IMPLEMENTATION OF THE NATIONAL DISABILITY INSURANCE SCHEME AND THE PROVISION OF DISABILITY SERVICES IN NEW SOUTH WALES
Name: Mr Sam Pavone Date Received: 14 September 2018
- Why did the NDIS say that we would not be worse off with the introduction of NDIS being introduced?
- I have been given inadequate funding which has not allowed me to live my life to my full potential as in previous years.
- I do not think the NDIS has been beneficial for myself.
- The reduction of funding has affected my wellbeing and social life where I have had to cut back on fishing, OT and the gym significantly.
- I feel I have not been provided with adequate funding to sustain what is needed in terms of care.
- Providers are also charging at a higher rate for services which make it difficult to sustain funding.
