The Talk Up project is run by First Peoples Disability Network Australia in partnership with the Australian Centre for Disability Law and People with Disability Australia, funded by the Department of Social Services.

Here’s a bit about our partners and how they can help you:

Australian Centre for Disability Law (ACDL)

The Australian Centre for Disability Law is a specialist Community Legal Centre providing:

Free legal advice and representation for people experiencing Disability Discrimination and other areas of civil law in NSW,
Free referrals for people with disability experiencing problems with other areas of law or living outside NSW, and

If you think you (or someone you care for) has been discriminated against because of their disability, you can call our Advice Line on (02) 9370 3135 or 1800 800 708 or visit our website for more information: https://disabilitylaw.org.au/

People with Disability Australia (PWDA)

People with Disability Australia is a disability rights organisation, led by people with a disability.

We provide one-to-one advocacy for people with disability. This means, you will be partnered with one of our advocates, who will listen to your problem and can help by doing things like:

Attending meetings with you
Helping you write a letter
Making calls on your behalf, or
Helping you lodge complaints
