From: To: Community Affairs, Committee (SEN); Subject: Submission to the Inquiry into the National Disability Insurance Scheme Bill 2012 Date: Thursday, 17 January 2013 10:35:38 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.
Needs are so varied that there must be evaluation of each case individualy on its merits. Often small help now can prevent big needs later.
The main features of the NDIS that will make a difference to the community are:
Better access to education and work opportunities, More rights for people with a disability, Removal of age barriers to services for children
The most important services for the NDIS to provide are:
Therapy and allied health services, In-home care and domestic assistance, Positive behaviour support and psychological services
I support the introduction of the NDIS.
Needs are more important than wants.
I agree for my submission to be made public
