How We Support You
Advocacy is about standing with people, protecting rights, and helping people move through systems with clarity, confidence, and support.
Not sure where to start?
You do not need to know what kind of advocacy you need before reaching out. We can listen, understand what is happening, and help direct you to the right pathway.
Contact usIndividual Disability Advocacy Support
Individual advocacy is one-to-one support for people with disability who need help to deal with a problem, make their voice heard, understand their rights, or work through a service or decision. This can include support across health, education, Centrelink, NDIS, transport, housing, disability services, complaints, access issues, and much more.
What this can include
Help with services, complaints, access issues, unfair treatment, health matters, education issues, Centrelink, NDIS, transport, housing, disability supports, decision-making, communication with agencies, and resolving problems with systems that are hard to navigate.
How we work
We listen first. We help people understand options, prepare for meetings, communicate with services, raise concerns, and take steps that support their own will and preferences.
Who it is for
People with disability, families, carers, and supporters who need help with disability-related issues and want independent advocacy.
Advocacy Support for Children with Disability at School
We can work with families and schools to help get the right support in place for a child with disability. We can also help talk through what might be happening, what barriers may be affecting the child, and what steps may support better outcomes at school. This work can involve both individual advocacy and systemic advocacy, depending on the issue.
How we can help
We can help families raise concerns, communicate with schools, prepare for meetings, understand options, and discuss what support may be needed for a child with disability in an education setting.
What this may involve
Support around communication, adjustments, inclusion, access, behavioural responses, school engagement, service coordination, and concerns about whether the right supports are in place.
Individual and systemic advocacy
Some school issues affect one child directly. Others show broader patterns that may point to systemic barriers. Both can matter, and both may need advocacy.
NDIS Appeals Advocacy for External Review in the Administrative Review Tribunal
We support people who are seeking external review of NDIS decisions in the Administrative Review Tribunal. We can help people understand the process, prepare for it, and represent them through alternative dispute resolution and up to and including hearing.
What this can include
Explaining the external review process, helping people understand the issues in dispute, preparing documents and evidence, supporting negotiation and case discussions, and representing people during alternative dispute resolution and hearing.
Important to know
We are not lawyers. We provide advocacy and representation within our role. Where legal advice is needed, we can assist people to seek legal advice or connect with legal services.
Who it is for
People affected by an NDIS decision who are taking the matter to external review in the Administrative Review Tribunal and need support to understand and navigate the process.
Systemic Disability Advocacy and Policy Change
Systemic advocacy looks beyond one person’s issue and asks what needs to change so the same problem does not keep happening to others.
What this can include
Policy reform, submissions, sector engagement, raising patterns of concern, consultation work, public advocacy, and action aimed at improving fairness, access, and accountability.
Why it matters
Some problems are bigger than one case. Systemic advocacy helps make services, laws, and systems work better for more people over time.
What it is guided by
Lived experience, recurring barriers, community concerns, and the need for practical change that improves outcomes for people with disability.
Aged Care Volunteer Visitors Scheme and Social Connection Support
The Aged Care Volunteer Visitors Scheme helps reduce loneliness and social isolation by matching older people with volunteer visitors for companionship and connection.
What this can include
Regular visits, conversation, companionship, social connection, and meaningful contact for older people who may not have frequent visitors or strong social networks.
Who it can support
Older people in residential aged care or receiving Home Care Package services who would benefit from ongoing social connection and friendly visits.
Why it matters
Connection matters. Regular human contact can improve wellbeing, reduce isolation, and help people feel seen, valued, and included.
