Our Services
By having the courage to speak up, survivors can hand their shame, anger, hate and guilt, back to its rightful owner – the perpetrator.
Why We Help
Warriors Advocacy was established after the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse as a way to help survivors of childhood abuse who do not know where to begin when it comes to seeking natural justice and compensation.
Russell Manser, was a victim of institutional sexual abuse while serving time in jail, and he spoke out after the royal commission.
We are passionate about helping others and have made it our goal to support survivors through the process of healing and reparation.
How We Help
We start by providing a safe and private environment to tell your story and we guarantee your confidentiality through the entirety of the claim process. Our approach to interviewing makes it easier for you to provide the facts necessary to begin the process.
Once the relevant facts are established, we put you in contact with the law firm and other service providers that we believe are the people best suited to help you. Then we continue to advocate for you and support you through every step of the process.
Positive Experience
Sadly, many clients come to us with a complete lack of faith in the legal process, due to their past experiences with ‘the system’.
Be assured the lawyers we work with are committed to achieving the best outcome for you – and they’ll treat you with respect, kindness and understanding throughout the process.
Where necessary, we’ll bridge the ‘cultural gap’ between you and your lawyers or service providers. We’ll be your ears and your voice when appropriate; and ensure you have a complete understanding of everything taking place.
Understanding
Our life experiences ensure we understand our clients, and ‘speak their language’ – that helps us guide you to the best outcome for your situation.
We help lawyers engage with you in a way that is appropriate and takes heed of your cultural and social circumstances.
If you find yourself struggling with the claim process or related personal and social challenges at any time, we’ll be there to listen, and to help.
