The National Centre for Disability Advocacy (NCDA) is conducting our annual Census week. The purpose is to gain a snapshot of the independent disability advocacy sector. There are two surveys, one for individuals who work in the disability advocacy sector and one for organisations delivering advocacy services. We will collect similar information each year to track trends and changes and share this information back with the sector.
We will also share this information with Disability Advocacy Network Australia (DANA) to assist them in their role as ‘advocate for the advocates.’ The better we understand the sector, the better we can work towards supporting the sector!
It will be easier to complete this survey by reviewing the document version of the survey and collating information prior to completing it. You can view examples of the survey in either PDF or Word format below,
If you have any questions, please get in touch at ncda@dana.org.au.
This survey is for people who complete paid work in the disability advocacy sector and at least 50% of their role relates to completing disability advocacy-related work under a disability advocacy funding stream. A disability advocacy funding stream includes:
- The National Disability Advocacy Program (NDAP)
- The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) appeals program,
- State-funded government disability advocacy programs.
People who should take part in this survey include disability advocates of all models, supervisors and team leaders, intake and administration officers, and managers and executives. We are looking forward to hearing from everyone!
This year’s survey opened on Monday 30th October 2023 and close on 9:00 AEDT Tuesday 14th November 2023.

Survey for organisations in the disability advocacy sector
This survey is for organisations that deliver disability advocacy services. This includes those that are funded by a disability advocacy funding stream such as:
- The National Disability Advocacy Program (NDAP),
- The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) appeals program,
- State-funded government disability advocacy programs.
Each organisation should complete this survey once. The information you share will provide valuable insights into the sector and we look forward to being able to share this information back with you.
This year’s survey opened on Monday 30th October 2023 and close on Friday 10th November 2023.
