Need for better and suitable services for people with disability

From: To: Community Affairs, Committee (SEN); Subject: sub910Submission to the Inquiry into the National Disability Insurance Scheme Bill 2012 Date: Thursday, 17 January 2013 1:13:20 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.

N/A

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

Ensure support and equipment is available when needed, The ability to receive services when needed and in the way that suits the person, 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:

Therapy and allied health services, Life-skills, Support for families and carers

I support the introduction of the NDIS.

I believe people with disability need better and suitable services because their needs are different depending on every individual. I also believe they need to be integrated to the society and have access to education, employment and social activities.

I agree for my submission to be made public

Regards,

Ms Ana Barassi
