From: To: Community Affairs, Committee (SEN); Subject: Submission to the Inquiry into the National Disability Insurance Scheme Bill 2012 Date: Friday, 21 December 2012 6:42:48 PM
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.
My daughter (intelectually handicapped) permanently is cared for by the Endeavour Foundation-Queensland. This Endeavour disability system works for my daughter and I but there are many many disadvantaged persons who’s parents have to care for them, NDIS will assure that all will get the proper treatment in time to come.
The main features of the NDIS that will make a difference to the community are:
Ensure support and equipment is available when needed, More rights for people with a disability, 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:
Equipment and home/vehicle modifications, Support for families and carers, Accommodation options
I support the introduction of the NDIS.
It is our reponsibilty to care for those who can’t care for themselves. The NDIS will see to it that persons with a disability get a fair go and don’t have to rely on their family members.
I agree for my submission to be made public
