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: Friday, 21 December 2012 5:14:50 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 I am a Queensland

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

• Ensure support and equipment is available when needed,
• More rights for people with a disability,
• The ability to receive services when needed and in the way that suits the person,
• Less red tape, with planning done locally by people who know their community

The most important services for the NDIS to provide are:

• Therapy and allied health services,
• Recreation and community access,
• Support for families and carers,
• In-home care and domestic assistance,
• Case management, planning and coordination,
• Interpreters and other communication support

I support the introduction of the NDIS.

I am disable

I agree for my submission to be made public

Regards,

Miss christine anderson
