Welcome to Advocare
Advocare supports older adults, their families and representatives to navigate and resolve issues with aged care services. We help people find the information they need to make informed decisions, to express their preferences, and to stay connected to their community.
We are a not-for-profit organisation and independent from aged care providers. Our services are free, unbiased and confidential.
Advocare is also the Seniors Peak Body in Western Australia.

Looking for a truly rewarding and meaningful experience? Our community-building Aged Care Volunteer Visitors Scheme (ACVVS) offers companionship and support to older people who may have limited social contact, find it difficult to get around, or experience cultural differences or other challenges.
