From: To: Community Affairs, Committee (SEN); Subject: Submission to the Inquiry into the National Disability Insurance Scheme Bill 2012 Date: Saturday, 22 December 2012 6:48:23 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.

because no one care about disability system or for the people who are involve in disability service system.

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,
  • Better access to education and work opportunities,
  • More opportunities to participate in the community,
  • People with a disability can plan their lives and pursue their goals and dreams,
  • The ability to receive services when needed and in the way that suits the person,
  • Increased ability to coordinate services to suit the “whole” person/family,
  • Access to reliable information about support options,
  • Removal of age barriers to services for children

The most important services for the NDIS to provide are:

  • Equipment and home/vehicle modifications,
  • Education support (technology/services/equipment),
  • Life-skills,
  • Support for families and carers

I support the introduction of the NDIS.

as i work support people with Disability i witnessed the impact that they are facing in a daily basis in regards to their daily life and their families i belive that they deserve better service and support. this is why i support the NDIS to became real for our people with disability and their families.

I agree for my submission to be made public
