Established in 1991, Advocacy WA is a regionally based community not for profit Western Australian agency that provides a range of advocacy services for people with disabilities living in the South West of Western Australia who find themselves in vulnerable or marginalised situations.
Advocacy means ‘standing by’ or ‘speaking out’ for someone’s rights when they are treated unfairly.
Advocacy WA believes that people with a disability have the same rights (and responsibilities) as people who do not have a disability.
We will advocate with and for people with a disability to safeguard (or protect) their capacity to speak out and ensure that their rights are negotiated in practice.
What does it cost?
It is a FREE service.
Who can get help?
Anyone with a disability can access this independent service. We take referrals from other agencies as well as self-referral.
Where does AWA cover?
If you live in the South West we can help. We are based out of our main office in Bunbury but we also have outreach offices in Collie, Manjimup, Margaret River and Busselton. We are able to schedule appointments in other South West locations if required.
Advocacy WA staff frequently travel to 13 rural and regional centres to support and inform clients and community members.
