A young man with disability, Marco spent years fleeing family violence which resulted in stints of homelessness and surviving multiple suicide attempts.
He finally managed to secure short-term accommodation funded through his NDIS plan, but due to a change in his circumstances, Marco had limited informal supports.
How PWDA helped
Marco approached PWDA seeking advocacy support and quickly accessed the specialist advocacy support he needed.
Marco and his advocate used video conferencing throughout the COVID-19 pandemic to meet regularly to discuss his situation and create a plan that suited his situation.
During their sessions, they both created a clear agenda of tasks, including other important supports for his life, such as his support coordinator and behaviour support practitioner.
