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.
It doesnt work as it doesnt take into account those who are long term affected with a disablitly from 21 years ago. Each and everyday we struggle to survive with my husband being my full time carer and myself not beng able to work.
The main features of the NDIS that will make a difference to the community are:
Ensure support and equipment is available when needed, The ability to receive services when needed and in the way that suits the person, Less red tape, with planning done locally by people who know their community
The most important services for the NDIS to provide are:
Therapy and allied health services, Equipment and home/vehicle modifications, Case management, planning and coordination
I support the introduction of the NDIS.
to help those who need the support to help them survive. Fairness is one for all and all for one.
I agree for my submission to be made public
