Support for accessible equipment and mainstream services

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: Sunday, 23 December 2012 3:51:28 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.

Sametimes we say things that people don’t want to hear,or that we don’ want to say.

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,
  • 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,
  • Support for families and carers

I support the introduction of the NDIS.

I think it’s Inportant.

I agree for my submission to be made public

Regards, Mr Michael Bencic
