My name is Michelle and I am the parent of a young man with severe disabilities.
The impact that these potential changes will have on my son and his future is immeasurable. To reduce choice and control over the supports that he has to live an ordinary life will be devastating. He potentially will lose access to his supported employment, his therapists that have been building his capacity for the last 7 years and any chance he has of participating in any form of social life. These blanket changes that only affect the participants are unfair and unjust.
The NDIS does need an overhaul but doing this without consultation with the users of the scheme will never solve the problems that are being saturated in the media.
My son has the right to be a part of society. By making these changes, he loses those rights. He needs support in every aspect of his life and the proposed changes will render him back into βday programsβ that just babysit.
DONβT send us back to the dark ages of day programs and group homes. The DRC outlined all of the problems within the sector and yet the Government has chosen to ignore the recommendations that came from that. My son WILL NOT ever be put in a situation where he would be open to abuse. He needs protection and these changes will not give him that!
Kind regards
