General issues around the implementation and performance of the NDIS

Submission 21

Will the NDis pay for camp costs and recreational group activities which will help build skills. So far I have heard that the NDis will not. Please review this.

My adult son will not be able to afford such learning activities on his pension. And I cannot support these activities because of my age and preparations for retirement. It is unacceptable to have to pay $250 to $350 so he can build independence skills on a weekend camp. Recreational group activities are also important to develop skills if this is not part of the supports then how can a pensioner afford to leave the house. They are destined to walk around shopping centers.
