Independent Advocacy Services

A disability advocate can support you in a range of ways including:

​

• to help you understand what your rights are and how to assert them

• to help you access services and support to improve your ability and confidence in all areas of life

• by acting on your behalf to solve issues before they become a crisis or harm you further.

​

An advocate is in your corner. They are your champion. They are there to support you and speak on your behalf when you don’t feel confident to do so. They can also provide support and information so you feel more confident advocating for yourself. (Health.gov.au)
