Our founding story: advocacy born from experience

Your Rights Advocacy was founded from lived experience and a deep commitment to ensuring every person is heard, treated with dignity, and empowered to understand their rights.

After experiencing the challenges of navigating complex systems—including government agencies, housing services, mental health supports, complaints processes, and legal pathways—I recognised how overwhelming these processes can be, particularly for people facing crisis, trauma, domestic violence, disability, grief, or financial hardship.

These experiences inspired me to create a service that not only advocates for others but also empowers people with the knowledge, confidence, and practical support to advocate for themselves. My goal is to help individuals understand their options, access the services they are entitled to, and ensure their voices are heard throughout every stage of the process.

At Your Rights Advocacy, I believe that everyone deserves to be treated with respect, compassion, and fairness. Every person has the right to be informed, supported, and given the opportunity to achieve the best possible outcome, regardless of their circumstances.

My mission is to stand beside people during some of the most challenging times in their lives, providing professional, compassionate advocacy that promotes dignity, accountability, and lasting positive change

"Your Rights Advocacy changed my life. Their support was invaluable in helping me navigate the complex housing system in Perth."

Who benefits from our support?

We help people turn confusion into a clear plan — providing practical advocacy, support, and guidance through difficult situations. Our services are for those who need assistance navigating complex systems like housing applications, eviction prevention, Centrelink issues, formal complaints, compensation claims, tribunal support, and government applications. We explain that advocacy supports people to make informed decisions and access services, rather than replacing legal, medical, financial, or clinical professionals where those are needed.
