From: To: Community Affairs, Committee (SEN); Subject: Submission to the Inquiry into the National Disability Insurance Scheme Bill 2012 Date: Thursday, 17 January 2013 10:46:08 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.
I am fortunate not to have family needing the NDIS at this time. I am aware of families however with needs that are not being adequately met and I believe that this scheme is a community good that should be appropriately funded.
The main features of the NDIS that will make a difference to the community are:
Ensure support and equipment is available when needed, Increased ability to coordinate services to suit the “whole” person/family, 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:
Support for families and carers, In-home care and domestic assistance, Flexible in-home/outside home respite
I support the introduction of the NDIS.
Why wouldn’t you?
I agree for my submission to be made public
