Hi everyone - due to the COVID19 restrictions we will not be open to the public. We are still working, but we can not meet face to face. We will contact you if we have appointments this week to see how we can rearrange any meetings. If you have any queries please email us at admin@advocacywa.org.au or call us on (08) 9721 6444 and we will do our best to get back to you as soon as possible if we cant answer your query straight away. Stay safe and well 🙂
Do you need an Advocate?
What does advocacy mean?
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.
