Reliable and consistent care for disabled people

From:

To: Community Affairs, Committee (SEN); Subject: Submission to the Inquiry into the National Disability Insurance Scheme Bill 2012 Date: Thursday, 24 January 2013 8:15:07 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.

Provides reliable and consistent care for disabled people

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 mainstream support and services,
  • Less red tape, with planning done locally by people who know their community

The most important services for the NDIS to provide are:

  • Equipment and home/vehicle modifications,
  • Education support (technology/services/equipment),
  • Employment support

I support the introduction of the NDIS.

Consistent and appropriate care

I agree for my submission to be made public

Regards,

Mr John Camm
