ADA Australia Toowoomba
Aged and Disability Advocacy Australia (ADA Australia) is a not-for-profit, independent organisation serving metropolitan, regional, rural, and remote communities across Australia, including Toowoomba. Our organisation’s mission is to improve the well-being of seniors and those living with disabilities in the state through our advocacy services.
In the city of Toowoomba, our team offers aged care advocacy services, seniors care finder services, and seniors legal services. All our services are free and confidential. Our organisation is also client-directed, so you tell us your preferences, requirements, and how you want our help so we can guide you to your desired outcome.
ADA Australia’s Toowoomba Services
Our Toowoomba team provides aged care advocacy, a care finder program for seniors, and a community legal service. We help people understand their rights and needs and speak up for them. If you or a senior you know needs help accessing aged care services and support, exercising their rights, seeking legal advice on guardianship or administration matters, or addressing concerns, the team at ADA Australia can help.
Aged Care Advocacy
Our aged care advocacy services aim to help seniors uphold their rights and have their voices heard. We specialise in assisting people in accessing the appropriate care and support options, understanding their rights and addressing any concerns.
Our team understands that aged care services can be challenging to navigate, especially alone. That’s where we can provide guidance. We can help you identify and understand all the area’s residential and home care options, communicate care preferences, and assist with concerns.
ADA Australia can also assist with reviewing and negotiating care plans and making referrals for assessments and additional services. We can also help raise and address any concerns about service agreements, fees, statements, and budgets.
