From:

To: Community Affairs, Committee (SEN); Subject: Submission to the Inquiry into the National Disability Insurance Scheme Bill 2012 Date: Friday, 18 January 2013 10:53:18 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.

N/A

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

• Ensure support and equipment is available when needed,
• People with a disability can choose the types of support to use,
• Better access to mainstream support and services

The most important services for the NDIS to provide are:

• Education support (technology/services/equipment),
• Employment support,
• In-home care and domestic assistance

I support the introduction of the NDIS.

More freedom and choices for people with a disability

I agree for my submission to be made public

Regards,

Ms Amanda Tinney
