ACT for Autism Australia are seeking to join a consortium with other service providers and like-minded not-for-profit organisations operating in Western Australia. Our aim is to continue supporting children under 9 years old through the Thriving Kids program. Please get in touch by 30 September so that we can work on a support program to help families and individuals in need.

Private advocacy

Privately funded support to navigate the NDIS and education systems, alongside you in meetings and reviews.

Free advocacy should be your first call. The Australian Government and the Western Australian Government fund disability advocacy organisations that cost you nothing, and we recommend contacting them before engaging us. The Department of Communities lists the free advocacy services available to Western Australians with disability.

Our advocacy service is for individuals and families who choose to pay privately for help navigating the NDIS or the education system. We prepare evidence, attend meetings with you, and help put support needs into the words these systems respond to — plan reassessments, internal reviews, school planning meetings, and applications to the Administrative Review Tribunal.

NDIS funding cannot be used for advocacy. Advocacy is not an NDIS support, so these services are invoiced privately and cannot be claimed from an NDIS plan, whether self-managed, plan-managed or agency-managed.
