Advocacating for yourself

I advocate for myself at times but I thought I would let you know what can do for yourself and others.I am a on the management committee of Rights in Action in Cairns. RIA is a non-profit, community based organisation that provides strong independent advocacy for people with disabilities who are in vulnerable situations.

They are completely on the side of the person with a disability and will support them where needed. Advocacy can support people that believe an individual has been taken advantage of or their rights  because of their disability. Every State has their own advocacy set for people with a disability needing help. In Qld there are quite a few in the city to remote areas.  Just thought I would let you know a little about advocacy just in case someone needs help. It does not cost anything and also if they cannot help you they can lead one in the right direction to what services could be available.
