SEA South East Advocacy

What is Individual Advocacy?

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

The Individual Advocate at SEA will support 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 SEA, 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.

"Making it happen: a community where everyone,
regardless of background or disability, feels welcome, included and supported."
