Subject: sub897Submission to the Inquiry into the National Disability Insurance Scheme Bill 2012 Date: Thursday, 17 January 2013 12:55:02 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.

Because we don’t have any people with a disability in our home.

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, Increased ability to coordinate services to suit the “whole” person/family, Less red tape, with planning done locally by people who know their community

The most important services for the NDIS to provide are:

Equipment and home/vehicle modifications, Support for families and carers, In home care and domestic assistance

I support the introduction of the NDIS.

People should be treated equal

I agree for my submission to be made public

Regards,

Mr Brett Lawless
