About CiWDA

CiWDA aims to promote, protect and secure the rights and interests of people with disability and their families and carers living in the City and Inner West area.

CiWDA covers the local government areas of Ashfield, Canada Bay, Leichhardt, Marrickville and Sydney City.

What is Individual Advocacy?

"To advocate" means to promote, protect and secure the rights of another person.

The Individual Advocates at CiWDA will help you to make sure that your rights are recognised and respected. An advocate will "stand beside" you and support you so you can make your own decisions and get what you need. We help people to stand up for their rights, for example, when people have problems with housing, immigration, school, work and disability services.

When you contact CiWDA, an Individual Advocate will ask you questions about your situation and the support you need and will listen to your answers. If you need an interpreter the Individual Advocate will arrange one. You and your Individual Advocate will make a plan together about what to do.

CiWDA is auspiced by the Multicultural Disability Advocacy Association of NSW (MDAA). MDAA is based in Sydney and can be contacted on 9891 6400
