About Us

A self-advocacy learning program for people with disability.

Words 2 Action is a program for anyone with a disability, and families and carers, to learn how to better deal with, and get through the hoops and hurdles of the systems that support you. Whether that’s dealing with the NDIS, your carers, where you live, your job, your doctor, or even family and friends, it can sometimes be hard to have your say, and have people really hear what it is that you want.

Words 2 Action is an Information, Linkages and Capacity Building (ILC) disability project run by Aged and Disability Advocacy Australia (ADA Australia). ADA Australia is a not-for-profit independent advocacy and education service with 30 years’ experience in supporting and improving the well being of older people and people with disability.
