Citizen Advocacy Launceston, is a program which seeks to promote, protect and defend the welfare and interest of people who have disabilities.
Citizen Advocacy Launceston has been assisting members of our local community since 1989. The Launceston Citizen Advocacy Program facilitates the establishment of Citizen Advocacy relationships for people with disabilities, who are vulnerable or at risk, in the North East region of Tasmania. This region encompasses the Launceston; Deloraine; Westbury; Georgetown; Scottsdale; and St. Helens areas. The office has a small number of professional staff who are guided by a voluntary Board of Management. The role of the Co-ordinators is to identify people with a disability who are most in need of advocacy, such as those experiencing social isolation or who may be at risk of neglect or abuse. We are funded by the Federal Department of Family and Community Services . Citizen Advocacy on a wider scale is an international movement for the rights and dignity of people with disabilities, with well over 100 programs throughout the world. Citizen Advocacy began in the U.S.A and Canada, and was developed by Dr. Wolf Wolfensberger in the 1960's in response to the concerns of parents who had family members with a disability who were asking the question "what will happen to my child when I am gone". Their aim was to ensure that adequate protection and advocacy for their family member would be maintained. In Australia the first Citizen Advocacy program was established in Perth in 1980.
