Subject: sub878Submission to the Inquiry into the National Disability Insurance Scheme Bill 2012 Date: Thursday, 17 January 2013 12:32:01 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.
No local access to residential homes in our own community. What happens to family members if carers die or become incapacitated
The main features of the NDIS that will make a difference to the community are:
Ensure support and equipment is available when needed, Increased ability to coordinate services to suit the “whole” person/family, 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:
Support for families and carers, Accommodation options, Flexible in-home/outside home respite
I support the introduction of the NDIS.
I am a worker who coordinates our disability program and the issues that I have Highlighted are the isses we so often hear from carers
I agree for my submission to be made public
