From: To: Community Affairs, Committee (SEN); Subject: Submission to the Inquiry into the National Disability Insurance Scheme Bill 2012 Date: Monday, 14 January 2013 4:16:32 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.
It’s never been efficiently funded enough in order to get support, when support is
needed. It is too restrictive for getting support with health services, equipment, modifications and in-home support, especially when a person is born with a disability and does not get a payout from having an accident.
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, The ability to receive services when -needed and in the way that suits the person
The most important services for the NDIS to provide are:
- Equipment and home/vehicle modifications, Support for families and carers, In- hom care and domestic assistance
I support the introduction of the NDIS.
To give ALL people with a disability the support they need, when they need it!
I agree for my submission to be made public
Regards,
Mrs Margaret Viero
