RIGHTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES
We believe people with disabilities have rights and responsibilities as citizens and as individuals in our community. Adam Support Inc. supports and upholds these rights as outlined in the United Nations Convention of the rights of persons with disabilities

PARTICIPATION, INCLUSION AND IDENTITY
We believe people with disabilities have the right to participate in and be included in their families, their communities and mainstream society. Aboriginal and Torres Strait islanders and other diverse cultural groups should be supported to strengthen their connection to their culture and community.

COMMUNITY BASED SUPPORTS
We believe supports are more effective for the individual when they are specifically tailered and delivered out in the community. We reject centre-based services or other options that bundle people together based on disability or perceived need.

CAPACITY
We believe all individuals, regardless of disability, have the capacity to live their own lives as they wish if they are provided with fair and necessary supports.

ADVOCACY
We believe every individual has the right to a formal or informal advocate if they wish to assist them in their decision-making. Adam Support Inc is unable to provide formal advocacy.

For advocacy and other supports Disability Gateway has information to help people with disabilities. their family friends and carers, to find the support they need in Australia. Use this link to go to their website.

OUR POLICIES
We believe clearly defined policies are essential to keep Adam Support Inc on track and ensure we remain focused on the people we support. Our policies that can be downloaded here are currently undergoing a major review.
