As at 16 March IAT will be relocating to Office 2/179-181 Ross River Road, Mundingburra (opposite The Cathedral School). All phone contacts will remain the same. 

 

 

 

 

We are currently recruiting for an Individual Advocate.  Please click on our employment link for further information. 

 

 

 

 

Expressions of interest are being sought from members of the community to be a part of this dynamic agency.  Membership is open to anybody who supports the values, mission and work of IAT.  

 

It is from membership that we draw our Management Committee, which is the governing body of IAT.  The role of the Management Committee is to manage the organisation by affirming and promoting its vision, its purpose and its priorities. 

 

Organisations like IAT can only survive with the involvement and support of the community and a strong Committee of Management who are committed to upholding the values and mission of our agency.  We know from experience, there are many people with skills and experience in various fields that would be an asset to our organisation. 

 

We are particularly interested in attracting skilled, knowledgeable and community minded people who have a disability. 

 

Therefore, we are especially interested in people who want to become involved and who could contribute to the agency by supporting the work we do and the values we hold. 

 

In return, IAT offers the opportunity for members to be involved, expand on and develop skills and experience relating to the governance of the organisation and to be involved with like-minded people in a supportive environment.  By becoming a member of the Management Committee, people gain an overall understanding of what IAT does, together with a wider perspective on advocacy and the advocacy movement. It also brings into focus the issues which affect people with disabilities and their families at different points in their lives, as well as the systems they are associated with, including governments, advisory and peak bodies and services. 

 

Committee of Management meetings are held on the first Monday of each month with a duration of approximately one to one and a half hours. 

 

If you are interested in becoming a member of our Management Committee, please contact us at admin@independentadvocacy.org.au in the first instance. 

 

We look forward to hearing from you.
