What We Do
Speak Out Advocacy provides free, confidential, independent, statewide advocacy for people with disability and their families. If you are treated unfairly an Advocate is on your side.
Speak Out Advocacy is also a membership organisation for people with intellectual disability. Self-Advocacy groups meet each month in Hobart, Launceston and Burnie and we run an annual Speak Out Conference.
More information on what we do can be found below.
Speak Out does many projects regularly.
Some projects are done with help from other organisations.
All our projects include the ideas and knowledge of people who have lived experience of intellectual disability.
Our projects page tells you about projects we are working on and some of the projects that we have worked on in the past.
Fee for Service - Accessible Information & User Testing
User testing means checking if something works well for the people who will use it.
We ask real people to try something – like easy read information, a website, form, apps, or a service – and tell us what they think.
Speak Out has made lots of easy read resources
to help people with intellectual disability.
These resources help people:
-
Understand hard information
-
To read important information easily
We use animations (videos) to share information that is easy to understand.
People with intellectual disability help Speak Out to make these things.
