Self Advocacy Client Networks and Forum

VALID supports a range of self advocacy forums and networks that assist people to assert their rights and speak up for themselves.


Regional Client Networks
We support four separate Regional Client Networks for people with a disability living in the metropolitan area. Membership of the Networks is open to clients and Client Council members from Day Programs, Accommodation Services and Self Advocacy Groups. The Networks aim to provide:

• an opportunity to meet new people and socialise with clients from other services
• a forum to learn new things and gain information
• an opportunity to talk about issues and problems in order to create change.
