Disability Advocacy

Service Description

Disability Advocacy NSW (DA) supports people with disability to get a fair go. We stand beside people with disability to help them know their rights, sort out issues, and be fully included in the community. Our free individual advocacy services support people with disability across two-thirds of NSW, making us the largest individual advocacy disability organisation in the state. As well as offering services in Sydney, we are strongly committed to regional, rural and remote areas in NSW. With local disability advocates on the ground in areas beyond the big cities, we understand first-hand the needs of these communities and the people who live there. 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 • other services and businesses • workplaces • schools, universities and TAFEs • accommodation • transport and access • legal, healthcare and money
