From: To: Community Affairs, Committee (SEN);
Scheme Bill 2012
Date: Thursday, 17 January 2013 11:52:30 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.
As a Speech Pathologist I work with clients who have experienced severe traumatic brain injuries with significant disability. The current systmem does not provide enough support for the clients or their families.
The main features of the NDIS that will make a difference to the community are:
More opportunities to participate in the community, Access to reliable information about support options, 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:
Education support (technology/services/equipment), Employment support, Accommodation options
I support the introduction of the NDIS.
Offers better support for clients and their families who have a disability.
I agree for my submission to be made public
