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: Tuesday, 25 December 2012 7:14:38 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.

not enough support both physical and financial for families struggling with the needs of a disabled loved one.

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

• The ability to receive services when needed and in the way that suits the person,
• Removal of age barriers to services for children, 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:

• Accommodation options, In-home care and domestic assistance, Case management, planning and coordination

I support the introduction of the NDIS.

It will guarantee ongoing lifetime care for a disabled person

I agree for my submission to be made public

Regards,

Mrs Janet Burgin
