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 12:10:17 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.
My family have not been involved.
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,
- Less red tape,
- With planning done locally by people who know their community,
- Older parents and families will not worry what happens when they can no longer provide support
The most important services for the NDIS to provide are:
- Life-skills,
- Support for families and carers,
- In-home care and domestic assistance
I support the introduction of the NDIS.
All people are important whatever their abilities.
I agree for my submission to be made public
Regards, Ms Judy Down
