From: To: Community Affairs, Committee (SEN); Subject: sub955Submission to the Inquiry into the National Disability Insurance Scheme Bill 2012 Date: Thursday, 17 January 2013 2:48:56 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.
What disability system ? Fortunately at this time we don’t require assistance.
The main features of the NDIS that will make a difference to the community are:
Ensure support and equipment is available when needed, Better access to mainstream support and services, 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, Equipment and home/vehicle modifications, In-home care and domestic assistance
I support the introduction of the NDIS.
People with disabilities require much more assistance than is currently provided.
I agree for my submission to be made public
