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: Saturday, 22 December 2012 8:17:17 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.

I cant get funding for career. 2 year wait!

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

• Better access to mainstream support and services,
• The ability to receive services when needed and in the way that suits the person,
• Access to reliable information about support options

The most important services for the NDIS to provide are:

• Therapy and allied health services,
• Equipment and home/vehicle modifications,
• In-home care and domestic assistance

I support the introduction of the NDIS.

Because we need it desperately

I agree for my submission to be made public

Regards, Mrs Marita McArthur
