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: Saturday, 19 January 2013 5:59:43 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.

I am worried if my wife or myself dies, who can look after my autistic son maybe does not have self care function. It would be too much for other siblings who will have their own families to look after.

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

• Ensure support and equipment is available when needed,
• Better access to education and work opportunities,
• 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:

• Life-skills,
• Accommodation options,
• Flexible in-home/outside home respite

I support the introduction of the NDIS.

Make funds secured for my son and other disability people in Australia.

I agree for my submission to be made public

Regards,

Mr takeshi fujitani
