We take a proactive approach to address the needs of our community, advocating for their rights and needs, ensuring they are heard and represented. The organisation’s efforts are vital to promoting equity and social justice.<\/p>\n
In addition, all participants, carers, and other stakeholders have a right to use an independent advocate in their dealings with CRCS. Participants accessing services may nominate an advocate to interact with us and\/or make decisions on their behalf. We can also support you to access advocacy services and in some circumstances, CRCS may advocate on your behalf if you have asked us to and if it is appropriate.<\/p>\n
An advocate can be a relative or friend, an employee or an independent advocate from an advocacy service or other organisation.<\/p>\n
For more information about advocacy and CRCS, please contact 02 6264 0200 or email contact@crcs.com.au[\/vc_column_text]
