FAQs
What is client-directed service?
All of Advocare’s services are client-directed. This means that, whilst we can provide general information to family members and friends, we only provide advocacy with the direct consent of the older person (or their appointed guardian). We always plan and agree about the advocacy strategy in partnership with the older person, in most cases providing the information needed to successfully self-advocate
Are the services provided by Advocare free?
All of Advocare’s services are free, confidential and client-directed. The Commonwealth and State Governments provide funding for Advocare’s advocacy, information and education and for the WA Elder Abuse Helpline.
How long will I have to wait to talk to an advocate?
The majority of our calls our answered directly by an advocate, so you won’t have to wait at all. In the event that all our lines are busy, an advocate will respond to any messages left on our answering machine within one working day.
