The role

A personal advocate is an unpaid person who commits to a long-term connection with a person with intellectual disability who has unmet needs and is at risk of social exclusion.

The personal advocate seeks to understand, respond to and represent the person’s interests as if they were the advocate’s own. Advocates must be sufficiently free from conflicts of interest to achieve this single-minded focus.
