General advocacy involves helping individuals understand their rights, express their opinions, and make their voices heard regarding matters that affect their lives. Advocates work independently of other services to support individuals in articulating their needs and preferences and ensuring their perspectives are respected in decision-making processes
General advocacy supports individuals across various areas, including health, family issues, social care, and broader wellbeing concerns. It helps them navigate services, make complaints, or resolve disputes, and ensures their voices are heard in relevant contexts.
Eligibility for general advocacy services is broad, as these services are designed for individuals who need support to express their views or make decisions. While specific programs may have particular eligibility criteria, general advocacy is available to anyone who struggles to have their voice heard in decisions affecting their life.
