Independent advocacy is key to disabled people having a voice. That’s why I support the call for increased funding for disability advocates.   When people with disability have someone independent to turn to when they experience a crisis or need help to remedy disadvantage or discrimination, their lives get better.   But advocacy organisations don’t receive enough funding to meet demand – putting many organisations and workers at breaking point and people with disability are getting left behind.   Independent disability advocacy needs to be fully funded now, to ensure that everyone can get help when they need it. It’s time to fully fund independent advocacy Jim Chalmers.   #SpeakUp4Advocacy #IndependentAdvocacy Disability Advocacy Network Australia (DANA) Ltd

Hey everyone! It's important to speak up – now you can!   The government wants to hear what you think about the next budget for 2024–25. It's your chance to help decide what the country spends money on.   Do you care about helping people with disabilities? Ask the government to spend $91 million to support them. By doing this, we can help our friends and neighbors who need it.   📝 It's easy to tell the government what you think: Disability Advocacy Network Australia (DANA) Ltd has created a tool to do this.  Fill in a form with your ideas, your name, where you live, your email, and if you want, your phone number and any group you're part of.   Don't miss this opportunity to make a difference!

NDIS Service Providers are instructed they are not permitted to be advocates. They are told to refer to the DSS Funded Advocacy Services, BUT all of them having waiting lists, and most people will never get assistance in the time-frame required. In my opinion, it is Reasonable and absolutely Necessary that NDIS Participants, their carers and guardians, as well as individuals trying to get access to the scheme, have immediate, same-day access to Independent Advocacy and ongoing Advocacy. Support Coordinators and other Service Providers can play our part of ensuring the reports we provide and the evidence we collect is of the highest standard possible. By us going over every little detail of what we prepare for a participant, and understanding the difference between providing a stack of documentation, compared to robust evidence, we can prepare cases to be, what I refer to as AAT Ready from the beginning. BUT without real time access to Advocates, it is stacked in favor of the large Federal Government Agency, and totally against the one citizen, and that is plain, unfair and unjust. Please support the need of funding, fair and accessible Advocacy services for anyone needing to engage with the NDIS.
