SUMMARY:Community Briefing: Human Rights Act for NSW
DESCRIPTION:About\nThe NSW Parliament currently has an opportunity to take a historic step forward by establishing an inquiry into a Human Rights Act for NSW. \nPWDA’s Senior Policy Officer Julian Laurens is joining the Human Rights Act for NSW Alliance for a free online lunchtime community briefing to find out more about why 118 organisations and experts are calling for a private member’s Human Rights Bill\, introduced last week by by Jenny Leong MP\, to be referred for a comprehensive community consultation. \nWe’ll explain what a Human Rights Act could mean for you and your community\, how other states and territories already protect human rights in law\, and actions that you can take to call on all NSW Parliamentarians to support an inquiry. \nWe want everyone to join the the conversation about ensuring values we all share – like fairness\, respect\, dignity and compassion – are always at the heart of government decisions\, laws\, and services. \n\n\n\nONLINE Tuesday 4th November 2025 from 12.00pm – 1.30pm AEDT \n Register now\nJulian Laurens\, Senior Policy Officer\, People with Disability Australia

SUMMARY:Sunshine Coast Disability Advocacy Clinic
DESCRIPTION:A free Disability Advocacy Clinic is available on every 2nd Friday of the month from the P2P Office on the Sunshine Coast and via phone or zoom. \nParent to Parent is offering a free advocacy clinic with Miia Tolvanen from People with Disability Australia. \nMiia is an Individual Advocate based on the Sunshine Coast. \nAppointments are available either in person at the Parent to Parent Woombye office or via phone on the 2nd Friday of each month. \nBookings are required\, if you wish to make an appointment\, please fill out the form. \nTopics Miia can cover include: \n\nGuardianship and administration related matters.\nGoing to an external review (ART) for your NDIS plan.\nSupported decision making.\nHow to make a complaint about your NDIS services\, or any other service.\nChild protection related issues (if your clients have any involvement with the Department of Child Safety).\n\nSome things to remember: \n\n\nMiia is not able to provide any legal advice or support.\nThe 1 hr session is for advice only\, Miia would not be looking to take the person on as a client for individual advocacy. The person can book in again for a follow up clinic/advice session if they want.\nMiia may be able to pick up some cases for individual advocacy when she has capacity. It is important to note that individual advocacy is a short term\, issue focused approach. Individual advocacy is not a substitute for any funded or formal supports such as NDIS support coordination. Individual advocacy is not mediation\, counselling or case management.\nThere is no cost.\nMiia would need to record some basic information such as name\, DOB\, address (post code only)\, gender\, ATSI status\, citizenship status and details about disability. Miia will need to record these into our system for auditing and funding related purposes.
