Support for families living with disability

From: To: Community Affairs, Committee (SEN); Subject: Submission to the Inquiry into the National Disability Insurance Scheme Bill 2012 Date: Thursday, 17 January 2013 3:41:57 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.

I won’t security to know that my son will be adequatley looked after when myself and my husband are no longer able to care fro him.

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

Ensure support and equipment is available when needed, People with a disability can choose the types of support to use, Increased ability to coordinate services to suit the “whole” person/family

The most important services for the NDIS to provide are:

Therapy and allied health services, Education support (technology/services/equipment), Life-skills

I support the introduction of the NDIS.

To ensure a better future for not only my son who has a bisability but for all families living with disability. It is a very hard raod to travel down. The NDIS will make that journey a bit easier.

I agree for my submission to be made public

Regards,

Mrs Marlo Wild
