From: To: Community Affairs, Committee (SEN); Subject: Submission to the Inquiry into the National Disability Insurance Scheme Bill 2012 Date: Thursday, 17 January 2013 11:26:00 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.
It will benefit the carer by giving them and their recipients comfort in knowing that they are being financially supported in the long term.
The main features of the NDIS that will make a difference to the community are:
Better access to education and work opportunities, People with a disability can plan their lives and pursue their goals and dreams, 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:
Employment support, Support for families and carers, Accommodation options
I support the introduction of the NDIS.
I am a single parent/carer of a young adult with Autism, and I want to be assured that he will be supported once I am no longer in that role. The NDIS will give him that extra support.
I agree for my submission to be made public
