From: To: Community Affairs, Committee (SEN); Subject: Submission to the Inquiry into the National Disability Insurance Scheme Bill 2012 Date: Thursday, 17 January 2013 9:57:17 AM
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.
We don’t know enough about what is out there for our adult children. it would be good to get into accommodation locally that suits my adult before I am old and grey!
The main features of the NDIS that will make a difference to the community are:
People with disability can choose who comes into their home, Minimising the number of times people have to tell their story in order to get support, 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:
Life-skills, Accommodation options, Flexible in-home/outside home respite
I support the introduction of the NDIS.
It would be good for others with big equipment payouts and education needs. My daughter will eventually need accommodation support.
I agree for my submission to be made public
