Dear Polio SA Members
We write to advise you about how the Disability Rights Advocacy Service can support people to tell their stories to the Royal Commission into Violence, Abuse, Neglect and Exploitation of People with Disability (“Disability Royal Commission”).
The Disability Royal Commission wants to hear from people with disability, their families, carers, and other community members about their experiences of violence, abuse, neglect, or exploitation.
Our advocates provide a free and confidential service and will assist people to prepare their submission in the way that they are most comfortable with – in writing, recording their voice or by recording a video. We can also assist and support people who wish to participate in a private session with a Disability Royal Commission Member.
Our advocates can also help people to access other supports such as interpreters and can connect people to services such as free legal and counselling services.
We would be most keen to talk in more detail about the Disability Royal Commission to you if at all possible.
Please contact me Angela on M: 0410 056 681 to arrange a time for us to meet. We are also able to organise free interpretation services if required.
Disability Rights Advocacy Service’s advocates are also available to advocate for people with disability in matters including issues they might have with access, Centrelink, the NDIS, Guardianship and Administration, disability discrimination and any other issue that might impact on them.
We are also back to no restrictions on home / face-to-face meetings. We also can meet with people at our Kent Town office – Base 64, 64 North Terrace, Kent Town.
We look forward to hearing from you soon.
Yours sincerely
Angela Duigan
Disability Royal Commission Advocacy Officer
