Advocacy
Individual advocacy
Our team of advocates support people with disabilities and their families to get a suitable outcome on issues where they have not been heard or treated fairly.
Individual advocacy is a free service that provides short to medium-term, non-legal support for people who may have experienced discrimination, abuse or financial exploitation or issues relating to the NDIS, Housing and government services.
Representative advocacy
Representative advocacy works together in an active advocacy community, sharing relevant information with our community and speaking up about issues raised by you. We have a committed advisory group, regular online forums and local face-to-face gatherings across NSW and ACT.
When you get involved in representative advocacy, you are also learning about self-advocacy. Learning how to speak up with others about things that matter to you. And even better, you are doing it in a community.
Systemic advocacy
Systemic advocacy speaks up and out about important systemic issues such as the Disability Royal Commission, the NDIS Review, inequity between My Aged Care and the NDIS and many other matters. We work in partnership with likeminded disability organisations, contribute to advisory groups and in government inquiries and we respond to calls for submissions.
NDIS appeals
NDIS appeals helps people with disability, and their families, navigate the Administrative Review Tribunal (ART), who reviews decisions made by government agencies, including the National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA).
Family advocacy
Family advocacy helps families navigate systems like NDIS, Centrelink and other government services by providing free, non-legal support, resources and information.
Self advocacy training
Self advocacy training empowers people with disabilities, families and carers to advocate for themselves now and into the future.
