Practical advice. Lived experience. Meaningful change.
Creating an accessible and inclusive community is everyone's responsibility, and Advocacy WA is here to help.
We work with businesses, local governments, community organisations and service providers across South West Western Australia to create environments, services and experiences where people with disability are welcomed, valued and included.
Our fee for service offerings combine professional expertise with the lived experience of people with disability to help organisations identify barriers, challenge assumptions and make practical improvements.
Whether you are looking for disability awareness training, an accessibility review, support to plan an inclusive event or opportunities to involve people with disability in decision making, we can tailor our services to your needs.
Identify barriers. Explore solutions. Improve accessibility.
Accessibility is about more than physical spaces. It includes how people access information, communicate, participate in activities and experience your services.
Our accessibility consultations help organisations identify barriers and develop practical, achievable solutions that improve access and inclusion.
We can support you with:
Our approach draws on lived experience to provide practical recommendations that consider the needs of people with disability, particularly those living in regional and rural communities.
Build understanding. Challenge assumptions. Create inclusive cultures.
Creating an inclusive organisation starts with understanding disability, recognising barriers and knowing how to make meaningful changes.
Advocacy WA delivers engaging, practical disability awareness and inclusion training tailored to your organisation, workforce and community.
Our training encourages participants to reflect on their attitudes, develop their confidence and explore practical ways to improve accessibility and inclusion in everyday situations.
Training topics can include:
Sessions can be customised for local governments, businesses, community groups, service providers and other organisations.
We focus on practical learning that participants can apply in their own workplaces and communities.
Making community events welcoming and accessible for everyone.
Community events bring people together, but without accessibility planning, people with disability can experience barriers to participating.
Advocacy WA can work alongside your organisation to consider accessibility from the beginning, helping you create events where more people can participate comfortably, safely and meaningfully.
We can assist with:
From small community workshops to larger public events, we can help you consider the different ways people access, experience and participate in community activities.
Nothing about us, without us.
People with disability are experts in their own experiences and should have meaningful opportunities to influence the programs, services and communities that impact their lives.
Advocacy WA supports organisations to move beyond consultation and create genuine opportunities for people with disability to contribute to planning, decision making and service improvement.
We can support your organisation through:
Our approach values the knowledge, perspectives and contributions of people with disability, helping organisations develop solutions that reflect the needs and priorities of their communities.
Advocacy WA has been working alongside people with disability across South West Western Australia since 1990.
As a regional disability advocacy organisation, we understand that accessibility and inclusion can look different in regional and rural communities.
We recognise the importance of developing solutions that are realistic, sustainable and responsive to local circumstances.
What makes our approach different?
Led by lived experience
We recognise people with disability as experts in their own experiences. Their knowledge and perspectives inform our work and help organisations better understand barriers to inclusion.
A regional perspective
Our work is grounded in the experiences of people with disability living in South West Western Australia, including the unique challenges faced by regional and rural communities.
Practical and achievable recommendations
We focus on realistic changes that organisations can implement, rather than simply identifying problems.
Tailored to your organisation
We understand that every organisation is different. Our services can be adapted to your goals, workforce, community and budget.
Supporting lasting change
Our goal is to help organisations move beyond individual accessibility initiatives and build inclusive practices into their everyday operations.
Not every accessibility or inclusion project fits neatly into a package, and that's okay!
We understand that organisations have different needs, priorities and resources.
Whether you need a single consultation, a customised workshop, an accessibility review or support across a larger project, we would love to hear what you have in mind.
Our fee for service offerings are flexible, allowing us to work with you to develop an approach that is practical, relevant and suited to your organisation.
