Support for vulnerable people and families

From: To: Community Affairs, Committee (SEN); Subject: Submission to the Inquiry into the National Disability Insurance Scheme Bill 2012 Date: Thursday, 17 January 2013 1:17:36 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.

Too much red tape. Waiting lists to long.

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

More rights for people with a disability, Minimising the number of times people have to tell their story in order to get support, 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:

Equipment and home/vehicle modifications, Accommodation options, In-home care and domestic assistance

I support the introduction of the NDIS.

support for vulnerable people & families. They have enough to worry about!

I agree for my submission to be made public

Regards,

Mrs Juanine Mansfield
