Support for families with children who have disabilities

From: To: Community Affairs, Committee (SEN); Subject: Submission to the Inquiry into the National Disability Insurance Scheme Bill 2012 Date: Friday, 21 December 2012 7:02:43 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.

very few people know who to turn to in time of need

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

More opportunities to participate in the community, People with a disability can plan their lives and pursue their goals and dreams, Access to reliable information about support options

The most important services for the NDIS to provide are:

Education support (technology/services/equipment), Employment support, Support for families and carers

I support the introduction of the NDIS.

it is the best thing ANY goverment has done for families with a child with diisabillities

I agree for my submission to be made public

Regards,

mr ernie wilmott
