My Ideals For The NDIS
I am submitting my ideals for the NDIS. I am actually not sure of what I am doing as there has been very little information given to the public about what disabilities and who are going to be included.
The main features I think would have the biggest community impact after living with a Polio sufferer for 20 years and becoming disabled myself through an accident at work are as follows:
- Give people with disabilities the free choice of the type of service they use.
- Minimise the amount of times they have to tell their story.
- Give access to reliable and thorough information about support options they and their carers can use.
The main Support types I consider most important for NDIS to provide are as follows:
- Equipment and home/vehicle modification
- Support for the family and carers
- In home care and domestic assistance
