The Summer Foundation has today submitted a response to the  Productivity Commission’s draft report, supporting the key recommendations of a National Disability Insurance Scheme.

 As Building Better Lives Ambassador Jason Anderson states:

“If the NDIS had existed when I was first diagnosed with multiple sclerosis I would not have had to wait and save up for home renovations or equipment. I would have received personal care support, which would have helped ease the pressure and stress on me and my young family. I would have also received therapy much earlier - maybe it could have helped me stay in a job, maybe it could have somehow helped delay the progress of my disability. What this scheme would mean for me now is that I would be more independent, I could choose where to live, who I live with, and also have a place where my kids could stay over - that would mean everything to me."
