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: Monday, 21 January 2013 9:15:40 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.
Lack of respite services and access to euipment and therapy to enable our children to develop to the best of their ability.
The main features of the NDIS that will make a difference to the community are:
- Ensure support and equipment is available when needed,
- More rights for people with a disability,
- 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:
- Therapy and allied health services,
- Support for families and carers,
- Case management, planning and coordination
I support the introduction of the NDIS.
This will allow my children to reach their full potential and allow my husband and myself peace of mind as we get older and can not care for our children with their disability. Our daughter will not need to feel responsible for the care of her brothers.
I agree for my submission to be made public
Regards, Mrs Jenny Nechvatal
