About Citizen Advocacy

Citizen Advocacy was established in 1980; the first agency of its kind in Western Australia. We have been connecting with people in the local community for over 40 years.

We are a not-for-profit organisation that promotes, facilitates, and supports advocacy for people with intellectual disability.

Citizen Advocacy is funded by the federal government, Department of Social Services (DSS) under the National Disability Advocacy Program (NDAP).

You can read more about the program here.
