InclusivED will Advocate for you
Advocacy is speaking up on behalf of a person. Victoria’s Disability Advocacy Resource Unit defines disability advocacy as “acting, speaking or writing to promote, protect and defend the human rights of people with disability”.
InclusivED is built by a team of advocates who understand the support and advocacy parents require.
This understanding is built over the many years working in the disability sector and a lifetime of lived experience with people with a disability.
To support parents, we provide a wide range of services including:
