From: To: Community Affairs, Committee (SEN); Subject: Submission to the Inquiry into the National Disability Insurance Scheme B Date: Thursday, 17 January 2013 11:53:35 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.
Lack of options the red tape and not being flexablr and open minded to indivedual cases and thrre Circumstances and lack of support
The main features of the NDIS that will make a difference to the community are:
People with a disability can choose the types of support to use, Better access to mainstream support and services, Better access to education and work opportunities, More opportunities to participate in the community, More employment of people with disability and less reliance on social welfare, More rights for people with a disability, People with disability can choose who comes into their home, Minimising the number of times people have to tell their story in order to get support, Less red tape, with planning done locally by people who know their community, Access to reliable information about support options, People with disability/family will influence the types of support and services offered, 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), Life-skills, Support for families and carers
I support the introduction of the NDIS.
I have a disability I am unable to work and unable to claim financial or Access for support due to that I have not yet lived here for 12 years My Daughtrt of 15 also has disabilitilities and we are not sure if she will be able worl
I agree for my submission to be made public
