ADA Australia’s Mt Isa Services
ADA Australia Mt Isa
Aged and Disability Advocacy Australia (ADA Australia) is a not-for-profit, independent organisation serving metropolitan, regional, rural, and remote communities across Queensland, including Mount Isa. Our goal is to improve the well-being of older people and those living with disabilities through our advocacy and community legal services.
Our Mt Isa team offers aged care advocacy services, seniors care finder, and seniors legal services in the area. All our services are free, confidential, and client-focused. We always put our clients first. You tell us your preferences, requirements, and how you want us to help.
ADA Australia’s Mt Isa Services
In Mt Isa, we provide aged care advocacy, a care finder program for seniors, and legal services for seniors. We help people understand their rights and needs and speak up for them. If you or a loved one needs help accessing aged care services and support, understanding their rights, or addressing concerns, the team at ADA Australia is here to help you.
Aged Care Advocacy
Our Mt Isa aged care advocacy services help seniors uphold their rights and have their voices heard. We specialise in assisting people in accessing appropriate care and support options as well as resolving issues with their aged care services.
Our team understands that aged care services can be challenging to navigate alone, and that’s why we are here to provide guidance. We can help you understand all the residential and home care options and access them, communicate care preferences, and assist with any concerns.
ADA Australia can also assist with reviewing and negotiating care plans and making referrals for assessments and additional services. Our team can also help raise and address any concerns regarding service agreements, fees, statements, and budgets.

- Commonwealth Home Support Program (CHSP)
- Home Care Packages (HCP)
- Residential Aged Care Homes
- Disability Support for Older Australians (DSOA) Program

ADA Link: Seniors Care Finder
Through our program ADA Link, we provide a care finder service with Community Connectors in the Mt Isa area. These Community Connectors can provide individual support to vulnerable seniors and assist them in accessing aged care and other services they require in the local community.
This support includes:
- Arranging and attending care/health assessments
- Free and independent information about available care and support options
- Assistance with accessing aged/home or allied health services
- Providing guidance on the completion of forms and service agreements
Seniors Legal Service
ADA Australia also provides Seniors Legal and Support Services (SLASS) through our ADA Law community legal service. This outreach service is designed to help provide seniors in Mt Isa access to justice and legal advice. We can help you or someone you care about with:
- Conflicts with family and friends
- Family agreements
- Family or friends using your money
- How you are taken care of at home.
Our team also specialises in guardianship and administrative issues for those living with cognitive impairments or when your capacity is questioned. We can also provide support to those at risk of or experiencing elder abuse in residential aged-care settings.
