INQUIRY INTO IMPLEMENTATION OF THE NATIONAL DISABILITY INSURANCE SCHEME AND THE PROVISION OF DISABILITY SERVICES IN NEW SOUTH WALES
Name: Ms Emily Ward Date Received: 9 July 2018
Partially Confidential
As I am be in victim of domestic violence and a parent of two children with disabilities and also have a disability myself I require someone to listen to me and hear my voice and rights. My case Is complicated. I have no one standing up for me or listening to my story. With each of us on a plan I require someone to listen to me and stand up for me. It is all overwhelming with the three individual plans and none of my goals being met. I do not know what else to do. I have no family and feel the stress from the NDIS are impacting me and my mental health and possibly have a nervous breakdown. I feel my children are not being supported and are definitely not reaching their goals. I would like to speak to someone within the NDIS with the knowledge of a family with multiple disabilities. If someone could please contact me to listen to my story and understanding the situation to its fullest extent that would be greatly appreciated. Regards Emily ward,
