From: To: Community Affairs, Committee (SEN); Subject: Submission to the Inquiry into the National Disability Insurance Scheme Bill 2012 Date: Thursday, 17 January 2013 11:48:42 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 requiring services fall through gaps in the system.
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, 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:
Flexible in-home/outside home respite, Crisis and emergency support, Positive behaviour support and psychological services
I support the introduction of the NDIS.
It is important, those less fortunate than ourselves, and their families, through no fault of there own, have services they need.
I agree for my submission to be made public
Regards,
mr john crompton
