From: To: Community Affairs, Committee (SEN); Subject: Submission to the Inquiry into the National Disability Insurance Scheme Bill 2012 Date: Thursday, 17 January 2013 3:32:24 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.
All the issues involving my son and myself has been debated over the last 30yrs have never come to fruition.
I feel that a lot funding should have been allocated to Australian citizens with disabilities and less on overseas projects.
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:
Life-skills, Accommodation options, Crisis and emergency support
I support the introduction of the NDIS.
I want the best possible care for my son when I am no longer able to look after him.
I agree for my submission to be made public
Regards,
mrs peggy bensley
