Huge congratulations to our Community Projects Manager Larissa Beeby on being named a finalist for Citizen of the Year with the City of Bunbury

Larissa has spent many years with Advocacy WA, including time on our Board of Directors, and stepped into the Community Projects Manager role in 2025. Since then, she has brought an incredible depth of knowledge, lived experience, and genuine passion for community connection.

Her work is always people centred, grounded in listening, and driven by a strong belief that the South West can and should be the most accessible and inclusive region for everyone. From advocacy and co design, to community education and systems change, Larissa shows up every day with heart, integrity, and a commitment to making things better.

We are so proud to work alongside you, Larissa, and so thrilled to see your impact recognised.

If you have ever felt confused, shut out, or worn down by systems that are meant to support you, this day is for you. Everyone is welcome!

We are running three free, supportive workshops tomorrow, with options to attend in person or online. You can come to one session or stay for the day.

✨ What you will get out of it
Clear information, real examples, lived experience, and practical tools you can use straight away. No jargon. No pressure. Plenty of space for questions.

🕙 10:00am — Understanding NDIS access
Facilitated by Advocacy WA advocate Joan
Learn what the NDIS is, who can apply, what access really looks like, common barriers, how to strengthen an application, and what to do if things do not go to plan.

🕦 11:30am — Self advocacy in action
Build confidence to speak up. Learn communication tools, boundary setting, and how to prepare for conversations with services and providers, using everyday, real life situations.

🕐 1:00pm — Your Rights, Your Supports, Your Service
Featuring co facilitator Emma
Explore your rights as a person with disability and as an NDIS participant, what dignity and respect should look like, and how to recognise quality support, grounded in lived experience.

💬 These sessions are practical, strengths based, and designed to be welcoming and accessible for both in person and online participants.

Advocacy WA was proud to join the Back to School Fun Day , supporting families as they gear up for the school year ahead 🎒✏️

Stallholders were giving away free stationery and school essentials, getting students school-ready and set as term 1 is right around the corner 📚

We loved connecting with fellow stallholders including
