Youth Disability Advocacy Service

We are the only advocacy service in Victoria dedicated to helping young people with disability achieve their human rights. We offer a free individual advocacy service to young people aged 12-25 who have a disability. This means that you can come to us if you feel like your rights are being ignored and you need help. YDAS is continually undertaking systemic advocacy and working on policy issues that are important to young people with disabilities such as housing, independent living, employment and education. We work to ensure that the interests of young people with a disability are heard by government and other decision-makers. Established in 2006, YDAS is a core agency of Youth Affairs Council Victoria. YDAS is funded by the Victorian Government.
