Disability Advocacy Matters - Episode 1 - What is advocacy? How do I get help?

Today on Disability Advocacy Matters - a podcast for Speaking Up for You - we’re speaking with Disability Advocate Neal Lakshman.  Neal explains what disability advocacy is, and what work he does as a Senior Advocate at SUFY. Together we will find out about some of the main issues he sees, and what people with disability can do to get assistance. This episode was recorded and produced on the lands of the Yuggera and Turrbal people, and we pay our respects to elders past, present and emerging.  SUFY is an independent individual Social Advocacy Organisation for people with disability in the Brisbane and Moreton Bay Regions. We defend and promote the human rights of vulnerable people with disability through advocacy to address injustices and make a positive difference to their lives. Each episode of this series will feature practical insights on an aspect of disability advocacy. GET IN TOUCH To get in touch with SUFY about any of the information shared in this podcast, go to https://sufy.org.au or phone  (07) 3255 1244, or email [email protected].
