Who is Amparo Advocacy

AMPARO Advocacy is a nonprofit community organisation which provides individual and systemic advocacy, on behalf of people from a nonEnglish speaking background who have a disability.

AMPARO is governed by a voluntary management committee, the majority of whom are people from a nonEnglish
speaking background who have a disability. The organisation receives funding from Disability Services Queensland.

AMPARO advocates for vulnerable people for whom language and/or cultural differences make it difficult to understand and negotiate systems and services. AMPARO aims to influence positive sustainable change to attitudes, policies, practices and resources within governments and communities.
