Support for NDIS introduction and community services

From: To: Community Affairs, Committee (SEN); Subject: sub908Submission to the Inquiry into the National Disability Insurance Scheme Bill 2012 Date: Thursday, 17 January 2013 1:12:41 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 am just a supporter.

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, Less red tape, with planning done locally by people who know their community

The most important services for the NDIS to provide are:

Therapy and allied health services, Recreation and community access, In-home care and domestic assistance

I support the introduction of the NDIS.

Because it is natural and necessary.

I agree for my submission to be made public

Regards,

Ms J. Lo Grasso
