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

My NDIS application was rejected initially on the basis that I do not need a home carer, however my disabilities are debilitating in other ways that my NDIS application did not ask about… I then appealed the decision, only for it to be rejected again on the same basis. This is wrong, all disabilities, are disabilities that people live with, and we all need help in one way or another. In addition, my CAPS scheme will no longer be available under Medicare, so where does this leave me? No medicare, no NDIS? NDIS do not assist with the cost of medications as well, which is wrong. So much wasted funds in this country, but those who need the help don’t get it…
