Improved access to education and employment opportunities for people with disabilities

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: Tuesday, 22 January 2013 4:49:32 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.

To much red tape and people making decisions on your behalf.

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

  • People with a disability can choose the types of support to use,
  • Better access to education and work opportunities,
  • More employment of people with disability and less reliance on social welfare

The most important services for the NDIS to provide are:

  • Equipment and home/vehicle modifications,
  • Employment support,
  • Flexible in-home/outside home respite

I support the introduction of the NDIS.

PEOPLE WITH DISABILITY’S WILL BE ABLE TO DECIDED WHAT THEY WONT

I agree for my submission to be made public

Regards, Mr Kevin Finlayson
