The Advocacy in Action project is about assisting people with disability and their family members to be more involved in their communities. It is an advocacy development project for people with disability living in rural and remote NSW.

Advocacy in Action works with people regardless of their type of disability or cultural background and their supporters in their local area to bring about change at local, regional and state-wide levels. The Advocacy in Action project can assist people living in rural and regional areas with a disability and their families to learn more about

• their rights and responsibilities
• about self-advocacy
• and how to set up self-help group, support groups and advocacy groups.
