National Disability Advocacy Program videos
The National Disability Advocacy Program videos are now available on YouTube.
Produced in collaboration with disability advocacy agencies and the department, they ensure people with disability, their families and carers have access to information on the role disability advocacy can play in their life, the responsibilities of advocacy organisations and how to access advocacy support.
Under the National Disability Advocacy Program the Australian Government funds agencies across Australia to provide people with disability access to effective disability advocacy that promotes, protects and ensures their full and equal enjoyment of all human rights enabling full community participation.
This funding means that people with disability of all ages can receive support from one of these agencies free of charge.
