National Disability Advocacy Program (NDAP)

What is this?

In November 2011, the Australian Parliament passed amendments to the Disability Services Act 1986 to mandate the introduction of the new QA system for NDAP. Implementation will commence from 1 July 2012, with every NDAP funded agency being required to achieve a certificate of compliance against the Disability Advocacy Standards by 31 December 2013.

FaHCSIA funds all Advocacy Agencies under the NDAP to assist people with disability to overcome barriers.  There are six broad models of advocacy with the majority of agencies taking two or more advocacy models.

• Systemic Advocay
• Individual Advocacy
• Family Advocay
• Self Advocacy
• Legal Advocay
• Citizen Advocacy
