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: Wednesday, 23 January 2013 9:39:39 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.

There needs to be must more support given to the Supporters of people with Disabilities

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,
• The ability to receive services when needed and in the way that suits the person,
• Less red tape, with planning done locally by people who know their community

The most important services for the NDIS to provide are:

• Support for families and carers,
• In-home care and domestic assistance,
• Flexible in-home/outside home respite

I support the introduction of the NDIS.

I believe that the NDIS is a very worthwhile organisation that with some fine tuning is the best way to assist people with disabilities.

I agree for my submission to be made public

Regards,

Mr John Campbell
