Protection & Advocacy for people with disabilities (NDRN)
Every state and territory has a Protection and Advocacy agency that gives legal advocacy to people with disabilities. They can help with information and referral, advocacy, investigating abuse and neglect, and legal representation.
Good to know
NDRN's page lists the agency for each state, so pick yours to find its own phone number. It is the national membership group for these agencies, not a helpline.
Before you call
Have ready
- the state or territory where you live: the page starts with 'Select Your State or Territory'
They can
- show you the Protection and Advocacy (P&A) agency for your state or territory, with its address, phone, email and website
- point you to agencies that the page describes as providing legally based advocacy services to people with disabilities
They cannot
- take your case itself: it is the membership organisation for the state agencies, so you contact the agency in your state
- give one national phone number on this page: each state or territory agency lists its own
