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.
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.
We also make podcasts (audio programs)
to help people learn more about intellectual disability and to raise awareness in the community.
People with intellectual disability help Speak Out to make these things.
