Submission to the Inquiry into the National Disability Insurance Scheme Bill 2012

From: To: Community Affairs, Committee (SEN); Subject: Submission to the Inquiry into the National Disability Insurance Scheme Bill 2012 Date: Thursday, 17 January 2013 5:19:16 PM

Please consider this email a formal submission by me to the Senate Standing Committee on Community Affairs Inquiry into the National Disability Insurance Scheme Bill 2012.

The current disability system has many problems that need to be addressed.

will only work when people care and work with these people understand there needs and prepared to change thre lives

The main features of the NDIS that will make a difference to the community are:

• More rights for people with a disability,
• People with a disability can plan their lives and pursue their goals and dreams,
• Older parents and families will not worry what happens when they can no longer provide support

The most important services for the NDIS to provide are:

• Support for families and carers,
• Case management, planning and coordination,
• Positive behaviour support and psychological services

I support the introduction of the NDIS. i work in disability services each day and see these needs very important and have been over looked for many years time to show some compasion.

I agree for my submission to be made public
