NDIA Accountability Project

Better access to mainstream support and services for people with a disability

From:

To: Community Affairs, Committee (SEN); Subject: Submission to the Inquiry into the National Disability Insurance Scheme Bill 2012 Date: Saturday, 19 January 2013 11:05:04 AM

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.

not enough funding

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

  • Better access to mainstream support and services,
  • More rights for people with a disability,
  • Increased ability to coordinate services to suit the “whole” person/family

The most important services for the NDIS to provide are:

  • Life-skills,
  • Support for families and carers,
  • In-home care and domestic assistance

I support the introduction of the NDIS.

Supporting devalued individuals is long overdue, community responsibility.

I agree for my submission to be made public

Regards,

Mr Dominic Chiaravalloti
