We stand beside people with disability to help them know their rights, sort out issues, and be fully included in the community.
We focus on empowering clients to navigate the legal and social systems to achieve fair outcomes.
Our free individual advocacy services support people with disability across two-thirds of NSW, including right here in Bathurst, making us the largest individual advocacy disability organisation in the state.
We are strongly committed to regional, rural and remote areas in NSW.
Our local disability advocates are on the ground; we understand first-hand the needs of these communities and the people who live here.
We can help people with disability get fair treatment with:
- Government services and programs like Centrelink and the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS).
- Disability services and providers.
- Other services and businesses.
- Workplaces.
- Schools, universities and TAFEs.
- Accommodation.
- Transport and access.
- Legal, healthcare and money issues.
We're also focused on growing people's ability to stand up for themselves through self-help tools and support and creating society-wide change to make systems and communities more fair, respectful and inclusive.
Disability Advocacy NSW is part of Advocacy Law Alliance - an organisation working to achieve fairness and equity for disadvantaged groups in the community.
