The Disability Advocacy Futures Program provides information services and advocacy assistance to people living in Sydney, South-Eastern Sydney, and South-Western Sydney Local Health District (LHD) areas.
This service also provides advice and support for residents living in Assisted Boarding Houses located in Sydney, South-Eastern Sydney, or South-Western Sydney Local Health District areas.
We can help you with:

- Self-advocacy – Talking to you about ways you can solve your problem yourself
- Advocacy – Working with you to help you solve your problem
