Learn about counselling and advocacy support for people with disability affected by violence, abuse, neglect and exploitation or engaging with the Disability Royal Commission.

The Royal Commission into Violence, Abuse, Neglect and Exploitation of People with Disability (Disability Royal Commission) is running until September 2023.

Counselling and advocacy support services are available for people with disability who have experienced violence, abuse, neglect and exploitation, and anyone who is engaging with or affected by the Disability Royal Commission. These services are free, independent and confidential.

The Department of Social Services has created 10 in-language videos to help people find out more about accessing counselling services or advocacy support.
