Advocate

Title: Advocate – Decision Support Pilot Program

Employment Type: Part Time Contract position 30 hours per week until 30 June 2023

The National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA), states and territories have identified a cohort of people with disability who are being prevented from making access requests or proceeding through NDIS planning processes because they are unable to make informed decisions on their own and do not have any family, carers or friends to assist them with the necessary decision making.

The aim of the Decision Support Pilot is to provide advocacy and decision-making support for potential and current NDIS participants, aged 18 years and over, with limited decision-making capacity and no other appropriate decision-making support with key interactions with the NDIS. Individuals may also need assistance with other advocacy matters.
