Are you looking for ways to give back to your local community?

For over 30 years, Side By Side Advocacy has been dedicated to making a more inclusive society by connecting people with intellectual disability with other local community members.

Our Current Search

We are looking for people to meet Natalie, a woman in her early 60s with an intellectual disability living in the Wyong area.

Natalie is friendly and resourceful. She loves rock music and walking in nature. She enjoys a cup of coffee, a cigarette and a chat. However, Leanne has no family, limited opportunities to pursue her hobbies and few connections in the local community.

We are hoping to connect with locals with similar interests who are keen to get to know Natalie and visit every couple of weeks. You don't need any specific experience and will be able to access training and support from our office.

Having someone in Natalie’s life who will take the time build a relationship and support her rights and needs will make an enormous difference.
