Subject: sub931Submission to the Inquiry into the National Disability Insurance Scheme Bill 2012 Date: Thursday, 17 January 2013 2:01:14 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.
It doesn’t work for us yet as it hasn’t been brought in yet.
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, 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, Equipment and home/vehicle modifications, Case management, planning and coordination
I support the introduction of the NDIS.
I am 41 yo and confinded to my bed or elec wheelchair 24/7 with my husband my full-time carer. We also have 3 children 14, 19 & 21 with two still at home. The NDIS will benifit us greatly for security and assistance.
I agree for my submission to be made public
