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.

How we support families.

SupportEd Advocacy provides practical, personalised support, including:

We take a collaborative, respectful approach, keeping your child’s wellbeing and long-term outcomes at the centre of every conversation.

Who we work with.

We support families of children who:

  • Have visible or invisible disabilities

  • Have additional learning, behavioural or wellbeing needs

  • Are struggling with engagement or inclusion

  • Are not receiving adequate support despite raising concerns

You don’t need to be in crisis to seek advocacy support. Many parents simply want clarity, reassurance and guidance.

Advocacy grounded in experience.

SupportEd Advocacy was founded by Katherine Nixon, a qualified primary teacher with over 15 years’ experience across NSW and WA, and a Master of Special Education.

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.
