Systemic Advocacy

Home > Our Services & Projects > Systemic Advocacy

We work to bring about changes in situations or 'the system' together with and on behalf of people from a NESB with disability and their families/ carers.

We work towards positive change in policies, procedures, practices and service delivery in government and non-government agencies.

To achieve better outcomes for people from a NESB with disability and their families/ carers we:

• respond to new initiatives, policies, procedures, etc.,
• work with other agencies to effect change,
• take action to place our issues on 'the agenda'.
