National Disability Insurance Agency
Annual Report 16/17
Dear NDIS,
Just wanted to say thank you. My son is off with his support worker today having fun with some new friends in that big wide world that has always been so scared of him.
Me, I’ve had a few leisurely cups of tea, read the news, done the washing, and
I must admit, feeling a tad lost. You see, in 22 years I have forgotten how to just sit and relax, to do things just for me.
