An independent advocate can help by listening to you and supporting you to speak up about what matters to you.
They can explain your rights and support you to understand information and make informed choices. If you want, an advocate can speak up on your behalf, raise concerns with your aged care services, and help you work through any issues you have with your provider.

Services are free, confidential and independent of government and aged care providers. If something is not right with your aged care, or not working for you, call the Aged Care Advocacy Line on 1800 700 600 or visit our website https://opan.org.au/contact-us/

We have put together a simple Q&A to help recognise the signs of abuse, learn what to do if you're concerned about yourself or someone else, and find out where to get help.
