The Disability Trust provides information for people with disabilities and their families about everyday issues including:

• Locally available programs and services
• Referral to counselling or advocacy services
• Self advocacy & support groups
• Forums and workshops

The Information and Advocacy services have 3 programs:

• Disability Information and Assistance Line (DIAL) – covers the Illawarra Region and provides Information services
• Illawarra Self Advocacy group – group that meets monthly to increase skills, confidence and knowledge, in a fun way, so that people can speak up for themselves and help others to speak up as well
• Shoalhaven Information and Advocacy (SIA) - covers the Shoalhaven Region and provides Information services and direct advocacy for people with a disability

The Trust also produces and distributes information about events and services for people with disabilities, frail aged and their carers through a monthly newsletter.
