From:

To: Community Affairs, Committee (SEN); Subject: Submission to the Inquiry into the National Disability Insurance Scheme Bill 2012 Date: Friday, 25 January 2013 9:06:57 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.

Information on how to gain access and whats available is not clear.

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

• Ensure support and equipment is available when needed,
• People with a disability can choose the types of support to use,
• More opportunities to participate in the community

The most important services for the NDIS to provide are:

• Life-skills,
• Employment support,
• In-home care and domestic assistance

I support the introduction of the NDIS.

People with disability should not be descriminated against!

I agree for my submission to be made public

Regards,

General Manager Rathish Karthigesu
