    About Independent Advocacy NT


    Who are we?

    Independent Advocacy is here to help people speak up for themselves. We are not linked to health and social services or any other organisations. Our service is free and confidential.

    What is an advocate?

    An advocate is a person who works with you on a problem until it is sorted out. Once the problem has been sorted out, the advocate will stop working with you. Advocates often work this way because lots of different people need the help and support of an advocate.

    What an advocate does.

  • An advocate is someone who can help you to speak up.
  • Advocates listen to you and help you to explain yourself.
  • Advocates can speak on your behalf if you want them to.
  • Advocates will not tell you what to think or say.
  • Advocates can come with you to important meetings.
  • Advocates can find the right people to help you.
  • Advocates can help you to be treated fairly.
  • Advocates can meet with you at your home or somewhere local of your choice.
  • An Advocate will be on your side not anybody else's!
