Subject: sub883Submission to the Inquiry into the National Disability Insurance Scheme Bill 2012 Date: Thursday, 17 January 2013 12:36:37 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.
I have a member of my family that had their government assisted at home disability care taken away because of funding issues.
The main features of the NDIS that will make a difference to the community are:
The ability to receive services when needed and in the way that suits the person, Less red tape, with planning done locally by people who know their community, 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:
Employment support, Accommodation options, In-home care and domestic assistance
I support the introduction of the NDIS.
Any initiative designed to help disadvantaged people is worth pursuing. It is a more worthwhile cause then sending soldier overseas to engage in violent acts of war.
I agree for my submission to be made public
