My name is . I have 2 children under the NDIS. The greatest thing for me as a carer and mother is now there is hope and relief from the constant exhaustion of the daily grind and the horror of fearing what would happen if I suddenly died. I now have the opportunity to get a team together and set up systems and routines for staff. This is all for now and the future. What needs attention is the unqualified staff who require training specific to the task. Carers and those who have been doin g this for decades ate not getti g the recognition and help to pass on their knowledge. I would also like to see more help for mental health. There is a gap here where many are falling through. If help isnt found, many will become lifelong sufferers. Thankyou
