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: Friday, 21 December 2012 8:30:51 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.

Personally, there 2many SUB…SUB Commitiees & the Funds do “NOT” get 2 the RIGHT people, CHEWED up in ADDMIN costs etc and the NEEDED miss OUT

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

• People with a disability can plan their lives and pursue their goals and dreams,
• The ability to receive services when needed and in the way that suits the person,
• 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.

As 4 the 2 above catogories THEY r all NEEDED…my SON will need SOME help after I am gone as well as NOW..

I agree for my submission to be made public

Regards,

Mr Darren Smyth
