DAIS CHAIRPERSON’S REPORT 2016 – 2017
Wow, what a year! We have finally arrived bigger and better then ever as RDAS, Regional Disability Advocacy Service. It has been a very busy year for all of us, both the teams in Wagga, Wodonga, and our outreach offices, and for our Board.
There have been many changes for staff and for Board to navigate, but I feel that we have arrived in a very good place with a diverse, experienced, and skilled Board, and a team at RDAS that is motivated, determined, excited, and with a great depth of knowledge and experience in Advocacy.
As the year is coming to a close, with new staff, new Board members, new projects, and new challenges with the arrival of the NDIS, it's time to reflect on our values, and our vision for the future. I am very pleased that people with a disability are represented on our Board by extremely skilled and accomplished people who have a disability, people who are family members, or community allies. We also have skilled allies on our sub-committees, and involved in our broad range of projects and services, including many committed and much valued volunteers.
I am very proud of the initiative that RDAS has shown in assisting people and families to navigate the NDIS, the pre-planning, planning meeting support, and support for reviews and complaints. I sincerely hope that Advocacy is given the support, particularly the financial support, to continue to provide this much needed and very valuable service to our communities in Wagga, Albury, Wodonga, Wangaratta, and the very many towns, villages, and localities that we serve in Southern NSW and NE Victoria.
I also would like to thank the Board and staff members from DAN in Wagga, and the Board and staff members from DAIS in Albury Wodonga, for their forethought, hard work, and commitment to the future of advocacy in our regions. Without such committed staff, and devoted Board members, we simply would not have transitioned so readily and relatively smoothly to the new advocacy entity that is RDAS.
Martin and Swie, Miriam and Jeanette, have worked tirelessly, alongside the Merger Committee to help us become ready for the huge changes in the disability sector, and the funding arena. Thank you all for your efforts, and thankyou to our other wonderful staff, and our amazing team of volunteers for your contributions to another terrific year.
I look forward to another year of growth and development at RDAS.

Disability Advocacy and Information Service
EXECUTIVE OFFICER’S REPORT
30 June 2016 marked an end of an era and beginning of a new one in more ways than one. The focus of our efforts over the past twelve months was to prepare for the change. If in 10, 20 or even 30 years time we look back in history to 2017, what will we all think? Was it all worth it? Did we achieve the benefits we were all hoping for?
On a regional level we worked towards the much anticipated launch of the National Disability Insurance Scheme for the Murrumbidgee region of NSW in July, and Ovens and Murray region of Victoria from October. The NDIS is said to be the biggest reform since Medicare. Many of us lived and worked through the last big reform in disability through the 1980’s. Disability Service Acts and Anti Discrimination promoted human rights and community access. That reform saw the closure of many large institutions including Mayday Hills in Beechworth and Woodstock in Lavington. People were supported to move into group homes within the community. These reforms were a step closer to people with disability being seen as citizens in the community. Hopefully the NDIS will be another step forward.
The greatest frustration we, and people with disabilities had, leading up to the roll out of the NDIS was the lack of information about the NDIS, and the Authority responsible for the NDIS not engaging with the community. During the year we were able to provide independent and free information about the NDIS. Advocates were trained to deliver workshops about the NDIS and developing a goal base plan. We ran workshops on how to achieve a good life with the NDIS including a memorable workshop on the “art of asking” presented by Rick Thompson.
During the year we concluded the Employment Circles of Support Project thanks to a seed grant from Lord Mayor’s Foundation. We were able to demonstrate that with the support of a committed network of family and friends, and a training mentor, young people with disability can be supported to work in a bank or animal grooming centre doing real jobs and earning real money. The stars of the project were five participants and circles members who demonstrated that if you dream big and plan well you can have a great outcome. It was not all smooth sailing. We did learn a lot from the project. You can read more in the evaluation report and guide available on the website.
On an organisational level, on the 30 June, the DAN sign on the Wagga Wagga office and the DAIS sign on the Wodonga office changed to RDAS and a new organisation was born. The establishment of RDAS did not just happen overnight. It took a lot of talking, planning and work. For those who were at the AGM last year you would have remembered being asked your views on the merger and asked to think of a name for the new organisation. From there a merger steering committee was established with representatives from both boards and staff, who then met with a consultant, Miriam O’Brian, to write a constitution, develop governing policies and create a new brand. Thanks to everyone who was involved in creating RDAS.
It is impossible to mention by name everyone involved, but I would like to thank them for their individual contributions. As you read the achievements in the following pages you will realise that this would not be possible without the efforts of each and every staff member. In saying this, it is the milestones that are worth celebrating. Office Manager Jeanette Bawden and DAN Manager, Swie Madden, both celebrate 25 years with the organisations. Their contribution to Disability Advocacy has been invaluable.

Disability Advocacy and Information Service
SYSTEMIC ADVOCACY Systemic advocacy seeks to introduce and influence longer term changes to ensure the rights of
people with disability are attained and upheld to positively affect the quality of their lives. Systemic
advocates can influence positive changes to legislation, policy and service practices, and work
towards raising and promoting community awareness and education of disability issues.
Issue Strategy Outcome
In June 2018 50% of disability
advocacy in NSW (including
RDAS) will be lost if the NSW
Government planned funding
cut goes ahead.

Annual Report 2017
TEAM LEADER COMMENTS
Increase in requests for information and
support throughout NDIS registration,
planning and, where required, review
processes.
Development and implementation of RDAS
Structure.
Noticeable and significant increase in
people with a mental illness approaching
DAIS for advocacy. The Advocacy Team,
whilst doing a great job in responding, felt
they lacked the skills to deal with these
people and knew little about the Mental
Health service system.
The defunding of the Justice Support
Program was a concern to staff, volunteers,
clients and other agencies.
RELEVANT ACTIONS
Advocate trained to provide information on
the NDIS, arranged information forums for
people to attend, met with individuals and
work groups. Another Advocate has been
delegated the role to attend planning
meetings with individuals.
As reviews are received the response is
being considered on a case by case basis.
EO provided regular updates to all staff.
Input to what the structure needed to do
was provided to EO by staff.
Local and regional mental health services
were identified, a main provider of services
was invited to present to a Staff Meeting,
providing knowledge and a link with
professionals in this sector.
ADVOCATE TEAM REPORTS
The advocacy team identified an
opportunity to maintain support for the
Justice Support Program through the
Intake Worker function. This has enabled
the Program to continue though further
work is required and will require more
time from the Team Leader.
CHALLENGES
The lack of disability support services,
particularly case management, for people
living with a disability, placed an
additional demand on the advocacy
service. Some practises did border on a
case management role as the person
needed this and no other service could
provide it, although only urgent
circumstances were responded to in this
way.
Moving to the merger with DAN took up
additional time.
ACHIEVEMENTS
Despite all other additional demands the
Advocacy Team did not run a waiting list,
maintained the Justice Support Program,
undertook over 20 presentations to the
community and provided supports
regarding the NDIS.
The Advocacy Team reached their
targets for the 2016/17 period.

CASE STUDY #1
A client with vision and hearing impairment was placed under an enduring guardianship order and power of attorney for financial and also for decision making. The application was made by her sister and her father and the client felt that she was coerced to sign the paper work without it being fully explained to her.
The client was unhappy with this as she felt that she has capacity to make her own decisions and wanted to revoke the orders in particular as, under the orders, she had been moved into a smaller house and she missed her old house and neighbours.
The advocate and client saw the Registrar of the local court to seek further clarification of the orders. The Registrar explained to the client the process for having the orders revoked and what documents were required to do this. A local solicitor was then engaged.
The client is feeling empowered and much happier about her situation. With support she is working on revoking the order so she can manage her own choices and finances in the future.
CASE STUDY #2
Mr B Is a student at a rural secondary
school.
Mr B has a diagnosis of Asperger's and
was struggling at school.
Mr B’s family were concerned that the
school were not responding better to Mr
B’s needs, and consequently Mr B was
falling back in his studies at a crucial time
in his education.
The Advocate scheduled a meeting with
the Principal, Mr B, his parents and the
advocate to discuss the issue.
The outcome of the meeting led into
regular Student Learning Group meetings
and strategies being developed to support
Mr B better in his studies.
A number of requests were received and
advocates allocated to people on the
autism spectrum and problems with the
schools not responding better to their
needs.

Annual Report 2017
CASE STUDY #4
Mr Z lives alone in a 2 bedroom home, however for 5 years, was receiving massive electricity bills which, in his opinion, started when his smart meter was installed.
It was agreed to investigate the reason behind the high bills and that the Advocate would support Mr Z in understanding the situation after conducting the assessment.
Advocate contacted SP Ausnet who stated that the smart meter was fully functional and that the fault lay with the supplier.
A call was made to the supplier who undertook a home energy audit with Mr Z and found the only logical issue causing the high usage may be a loose wire or a broader wiring issue due to the age of the home. It was then agreed to contact the landlord and request an electrician inspect the property.
Mr Z requested the Advocate to ask the Electricity Ombudsman to assess. The Ombudsman liaised with SP Ausnet and the supplier, receiving the same advice as previously offered. The meter could be tested and if a fault found there would be no charge and the meter changed, if a fault was not found a call out fee of $250 would be added to the account which Mr Z did not agree with.
After going in circles, the Real Estate agent offered Mr Z another rental property. Mr Z moved homes. Advocate closed the issue.
The logical process of elimination, and providing options used by the Advocate worked well to progress the issue.
However, this slowed the process which frustrated Mr Z. Securing a home which was better suited was a positive outcome.
CASE STUDY #3
20 year old woman with Intellectual Disability and Multiple Personalities. Children removed from care from special care nursery. Children are currently in a long term foster care placement. Parenting assessment is currently being undertaken by child protection.
COMMENTS:
Advocate is working to ensure the communication between the client and Child Protection is successful. The client has been linked to other support organisations. The Advocate attends court with the client to ensure she understands proceedings. The Advocate attends care team meeting with other professionals.
CASE STUDY #4
The client is the legal guardian of a 13 year old grandson and a younger sibling. The grandson is currently in receipt of an individual respite package.
The client was having issues with the service provider and Case Manager.
An acceptable and understood line of communication was developed between the service provider and the client.
A further meeting was set up with the Case Managers (Aged Carer Case Worker and Support Service Case Manager) as the client expressed issues she was having with the Case Managers.
Further discussion identified the areas that had improved for the grandson including the purchase of a laptop, approval of a family holiday and the possible purchase of exercise equipment from his funding package.
Issue to be closed, the client is now working directly with the one Case Manager.
COMMENTS:
Stakeholder meetings were arranged with the client, support service and Case Managers. From the meetings actions were identified and tasks were delegated.
The option of having an alternative Case Manager assigned to the client was discussed. In this meeting the Case Managers and Intake Worker discussed the importance of the client working with the lead Case Manager and maintaining communication with the one person to establish a strong working relationship.
It would seem that the issue was a result of poor communication from service providers.

DAIS JUSTICE SUPPORT REPORT
During the first half of the year, the Justice Support Program continued as a separate program
with its own coordinator using funding provided by the Victorian Department of Justice and
Regulation. Despite the efforts to secure ongoing funding this was not successful. Therefore we
were unable to have a dedicated coordinator.
An evaluation report was completed as part of the funding which demonstrated the need to
provide support to people with disability, and having a volunteer based service was an effective
way of doing it.
Since January 2017, after funding for the Justice Support Program ceased, DAIS continued
providing Court Support and Police Support in a more limited capacity using additional funding
provided by Ageing, Disability and Home Care in NSW, then National Disability Advocacy Program.
To date this has been achieved by the Intake Worker taking on a small number of additional hours
to follow up on court and police support requests. The onsite volunteer role was reduced to
Wangaratta on a Tuesday only. At any time where court/police support cannot be provided by
volunteers, efforts have been made to have another organisation support the person ie: Womens
Domestic Violence Court Advocate Service.
Further work needs to be undertaken with volunteers and networking with relevant agencies.
Not having a dedicated coordinator has once again seen a reduction in the number of people
requesting support as there is a need for ongoing networking and support.
We would like to thank the dedicated team of volunteers who continue to make themselves
available when needed. Unlike most volunteer positions there is no set time or place to volunteer.
Court supports provided 63 Police supports provided 2 Legal supports provided 5
Case Study
RDAS was contacted by Albury Police requesting support person to attend an interview with Mr
L, a 25 year old with a mild intellectual disability who was known to the organisation. Mr L was
being questioned over a breaching of an Apprehended Violence Order (AVO) taken out by Mr
L’s ex-girlfriend. Mr L was arrested for breaching the AVO after he tried to contact the young
lady on her mobile through a friend, and by sending text messages. Mr L did not understand
that these attempts to contact the young lady were in breach of the AVO.
The RDAS support person sat through the interview, observing the way in which the interview
was being conducted, both properly and fairly; speaking up when there appeared to be
communication problems, offering alternate ways of asking the question, and ensuring that Mr
L understood what was being said to him. After the interview, the police explained to Mr L that
he would receive paper work stating when he would need to appear in court. The support
person spoke with Mr L about the importance of him appearing at court and that RDAS could
provide him with a court support volunteer on the day.
A Support Volunteer attended court with Mr L. Mr L was given a fine and a firm warning on not
breaching the AVO again.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2017
1 Statement of Significant Accounting Policies
The Board of Management has prepared the financial statements on the basis that the organisation is a
non-reporting entity. The financial statements are therefore special purpose financial statements
prepared in order to meet the needs of the Australian Charities and Not for Profit Commission Act 2012
and Regulations and members of Disability Advocacy Information Service Inc, satisfy the requirements
of the Associations Incorporated Act (VIC) and to satisfy government funding requirements.
The financial report has been prepared on an accruals basis and is based on historic costs and does not
take into account changing money values or, except where specifically stated, current valuations of non
-current assets.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the significant accounting policies
disclosed below which the Board of Management has determined are appropriate. Such accounting
policies are consistent with the previous period unless otherwise stated.
1(a) Income Tax
The Disability Advocacy & Information Service Inc is a non-profit entity and is therefore exempt from
income tax under S50-10 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997.
1(b) Plant and Equipment
Each class of plant and equipment is carried at cost or fair value less, where applicable, net of any
accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.
The carrying amount of plant and equipment is reviewed annually by the committee to
ensure it is not in excess of the recoverable amount from these assets. The recoverable
amount is assessed on the basis of the expected net cash flows that will be received from the
assets’ employment and subsequent disposal.
Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate
asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with
the item will flow to the association and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All
other repairs and maintenance are charged to the income statement during the financial
period in which they are incurred.
1(c) Depreciation
The depreciable amount of Office Equipment and Building Assets are depreciated on a straight line or
diminishing value basis over their useful lives commencing from the time the asset is held ready for use.
Depreciation of Motor Vehicles is calculated using the diminishing value method. The depreciation
method more closely aligns the carrying amounts to that expected when the vehicles are disposed of.
All assets whose cost is greater than $1,000 are capitalised in the financial statements.
1(d) Employee Benefits
Provision is made for the organisation’s liability for employee benefits arising from services rendered by
employees to the end of the reporting period.
A liability for annual leave has been recognised and measured as the amount unpaid as at the reporting
date using current pay rates in respect of employees’ services up to that date.
A liability for long service leave has been recognised and is based on expected future payments to be
made in respect of services provided by employees as at the reporting date.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2017
1(e) Revenue
(i) Grants
Grant funds are recognised as revenue when the organisation obtains control over the asset.
Control granted over assets usually occurs at the time they are received.
(ii) Interest
Interest revenue is recognised on an accruals basis taking into account the interest rates
applicable to the financial assets.
(iii) Gain/(Loss) on sale of Motor Vehicles, Plant & Equipment
Net gain/(loss) on sale of motor vehicles, plant and equipment is recognised as income/
(expense) when any item of plant & equipment is sold after deducting the carrying values of
those assets at the date of disposal from the sale proceeds.
1(f) Goods and Services Tax
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of the GST, except where
the amount of the GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Taxation Office. In
these circumstances the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as
part of an item of expense. Receivables and payables in the balance sheet are shown
inclusive of GST.
1(g) Trade and Other Debtors
Trade and other debtors are carried at their nominal amount. Collectability of debtors is
reviewed on an ongoing basis. Debts, which are known to be uncollectible, are provided for
through a provision for doubtful debts which is raised when doubt exists as to collection.
1(h) Rounding of Amounts
Amounts in the financial report have been rounded to the nearest dollar.

3 Economic Dependency
The continued solvency of the organisation is dependent on continued funding from the
Commonwealth, NSW and Victorian Governments. As can be seen from the Statement of
Comprehensive Income approximately 89% of the organisation’s income is derived from
government grants. A similar level of funding is expected for the 2017-2018 financial year. 4 Events occurring after reporting date
At the time of writing this report no other significant events are known or expected to occur
after 30th June 2017 that will materially affect these financial statements.

( i ) Remuneration of Board Members
All Board Members performed their duties in an honorary capacity and as such no remuneration
was paid other than amounts, in accordance with DAIS policies, to cover any travel expenses
incurred.
( ii ) Remuneration of Key Management Personnel
Any person(s) having authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the
activities of the Board, directly or indirectly, including any Board Member (whether executive or
otherwise) of that entity is considered key management personnel.
The totals of remuneration paid to key management personnel during the year are as follows:
Wages, Salaries and Superannuation $98,482
( iii ) Other Related Party Transactions
A Holden Cruze vehicle, being surplus to requirements, was disposed of to the president, Jennifer
Tait, for $9,000. The price offered to DAIS from McRae Motors was $8,500. Another alternative to
dispose of the vehicle was through public auction. It was considered by management that the
value offered by McRae Motors was market value and in the best interest of DAIS as the price
achieved through auction may well have been less and would entail selling costs to be deducted
from the auction price.
