Fair system for people with a disability

From:

Subject: sub884Submission to the Inquiry into the National Disability Insurance Scheme Bill 2012 Date: Thursday, 17 January 2013 12:37:06 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.

We are lucky enough not to have needed such a system.

The main features of the NDIS that will make a difference to the community are:

Ensure support and equipment is available when needed, Better access to mainstream support and services, More rights for people with a disability

The most important services for the NDIS to provide are:

Therapy and allied health services, Support for families and carers, Flexible in home/outside home respite

I support the introduction of the NDIS.

To make a system that is fair and ensure those with a disability are looked after.

I agree for my submission to be made public

Regards,

Mrs Sue Brown
