Advocacy


The Older Persons Advocacy Network (OPAN) is funded to provide free, confidential and independent advocacy support to older people, their families and representatives across Australia. 

An advocate service may be able to help you: 
  • raise concerns about services you are receiving
  • give you information about your aged care rights and responsibilities 
  • listen to your concerns 
  • help you resolve concerns or complaints with your aged care service provider 
  • assist you in making decisions about the care you receive 
  • speak with your service provider on your behalf 
  • refer you to other agencies when needed 

Who can Access Advocacy Services? 
Anyone receiving or looking to receive Commonwealth-funded home care or aged care services can use an advocacy service. 

​A list of advocacy services are provided on the right-hand side of this page. If you require further information on Advocacy or about the services available contact Numurkah District Health Service on
