Understand your rights, express your needs, and advocate with confidence.

Achieve Australia’s My Life, My Say program supports young people with intellectual disability to build practical life skills, confidence and independence through small-group, face-to-face courses.

📢 Self Advocacy Course starts October 2026

Here's what a previous facilitator had to say about a participant gaining their confidence and self advocacy skills:

“He is more confident now when he advocates for himself to do something or not do something. So, asking him to help with taking the bins out, he will happily say no thank you”

Runners-up highlight 🌟

The Buzzing Mind by Mae ✍🏼

Mae is an artist based in South Australia.

Mae's artwork represents her "reality of anxiety", her message to the world is to spread more awareness about anxiety.

"I used spirals to make it look faded and how people feel on the inside. The purple can represent fear and the orange can represent panic. Eyes represent getting judged or getting looked at when you might be upset or angry and the spirals in the ears represent going into sensory overload like in loud places. My inspiration is from my anxiety and how other people may feel too."

🎨 See winning and selected artworks in person at the 2026 Artful Exhibition at NSW Parliament House from 1–24th September.

Image Description: An abstract drawing shows a dark central figure with a scribbled circular head, surrounded by multiple eyes against bold orange and purple shapes. The contrasting colours and repeated eyes create a sense of observation and constant mental activity.
