What is disability advocacy? 

The Australian Government, and some state and territory governments, fund individual disability advocacy support to help promote, protect and defend the human rights of people with disability. 

​

Who is disability advocacy for? 

Advocacy support is for people with disability who are facing complex challenges. 

If you feel that you are unable to act, speak or write about a difficult situation on your own, or don’t have the support network to help you do so, then disability advocacy might be an option. 

Family members or carers acting on behalf of people with disability may also be able to seek disability advocacy support, as long as there is no conflict of interest. 

 

What is a disability advocate? 

A disability advocate can support you in a range of ways including: 

• to help you understand what your rights are and how to assert them 

• to help you access services and support to improve your ability and confidence in all areas of life 

• by acting on your behalf to solve issues before they become a crisis or harm you further. 

 

An advocate is in your corner. They are your champion. They are there to support you and speak on your behalf when you don’t feel confident to do so. They can also provide support and information so you feel more confident advocating for yourself.
