Submission on the National Disability Insurance Scheme Amendment Bill
Name: Luke Martin
You are:
- ☐ Disabled person
- ☐ Family member / supporter
- ☐ Clinician / worker
- ☐ Other: People close to me are affected
My main concern about this Bill is:
A few words or sentences.
My main concern with the Bill is that too many worthy participants of the NDIS will lose their support necessary, not only to live a quality, dignified life but may also result in serious harm and/or death.
Some issues I am concerned for my friend are:
- They may lose the ability to choose which supports are best suited to their needs; or their disability may be recategorized leaving them with no support at all.
- If their disability is still recognized for support, the allocated funding may be cut to not adequately cover the cost.
- I have grave concerns over how disabilities will be investigated and believe people needing the NDIS will be put under unnecessary stress and scrutiny.
My position on this Bill:
Would like to state that I do not support the bill.
I consent to my name being published.
