This role is an opportunity to share your advocacy skills to support families.
Family Advocacy is a state-wide, not for profit disability advocacy organisation that works with families to promote and defend the rights and interests of people who have developmental disability. This is achieved by strengthening the advocacy role and influence of families so that they can speak out with, and on behalf of their own family member, or for people with developmental disability more broadly.
We are managed and staffed by families and allies of people with disability, who recognise the issues and barriers that people with disability face. Our work is directed towards enabling and supporting families to speak up so people with disability can enjoy the same environment, lifestyle and living conditions that are available to the majority of Australians.
This role will be supporting the development of families’ skills and knowledge that enables effective advocacy with or, at times, on behalf of their family member with disability.
This occurs face to face, over the phone and virtually as we span across NSW. This role also involves the development and delivery of topical advocacy webinars and workshops with reach spanning around the state. The advocacy leadership development of the families is also a focus of this role with all leadership supported to bring about widespread change in the lives of people with disability.
