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, 5 January 2013 2:18:15 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.

I or my family by the grace of almighty are not in need of it but we have people around who need help. So whatever steps are taken to help them are good for community and for the society.

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 education and work opportunities,
• People with a disability can plan their lives and pursue their goals and dreams

The most important services for the NDIS to provide are:

• Equipment and home/vehicle modifications,
• Life-skills,
• Case management, planning and coordination

I support the introduction of the NDIS.

A society is measured through its treatment of the weakest of their members. So it is the right of the people with disability to be taken proper care of by the society.

I agree for my submission to be made public
