Better knowledge. Stronger Advocacy. Brighter Futures.

SupportEd Advocacy stands with parents navigating the complexity of educational support for their children with disabilities or additional needs.

By translating policies into practical strategies and ensuring schools meet their obligations, SupportEd Advocacy helps families advocate with clarity and confidence, so every child receives the tailored support they deserve to thrive in learning.

SupportEd Advocacy operates in the Newcastle and Hunter Valley Region, NSW. However we do offer online consultation to wider NSW.

Advocacy grounded in experience.

As a parent of a child with a disability, Katherine understands firsthand how complex and isolating the advocacy journey can be. This combination of professional expertise and lived experience shapes every aspect of SupportEd Advocacy.
