ADVOCACY IN ACTION 💪
In September, the Let’s Talk, Speak Out! (LTSO) advocacy group met with Debbie from Adacas - ACT Disability, Aged and Carer Advocacy Service - a free, independent advocacy service supporting people with disability, older people, and carers across the ACT and southern NSW.
Debbie shared how ADACAS helps individuals understand and speak up for their rights, offering real-life examples of advocacy in action.
LTSO members reflected on their own experiences — from standing up for choice and control (“It’s my choice”, “I’m the boss of me”) to previous campaigns like writing to McDonald’s about QR check-ins, which were not universally accessible.
The session built on the group’s skills in self-advocacy and supported decision-making, reinforcing how powerful it can be to have the right support to make informed choices.
Members left with new resources and the confidence to connect with ADACAS whenever they need advocacy support.
🤝 roundsquared is proud to support groups like Let’s Talk, Speak Out! who are building stronger voices, confidence, and inclusion across our community.
