From: To: Community Affairs, Committee (SEN); Subject: Submission to the Inquiry into the National Disability Insurance Scheme Bill 2012 Date: Thursday, 17 January 2013 10:50:35 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.
People witha disability are already well behind in obtaining services to get them into our culture - including education, emplooyment and social opportunities. Often the wait list is too long or the services are too scarse. They are loked into a life time of missing opportunities to develop further - intellectually, physically or socially.
The main features of the NDIS that will make a difference to the community are:
Ensure support and equipment is available when needed, Better access to education and work opportunities, 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:
Therapy and allied health services, Equipment and home/vehicle modifications, Education support (technology/services/equipment)
I support the introduction of the NDIS.
This will give the required chance for services and provide secuiry for families of the disabled.
I agree for my submission to be made public
