RIA provides independent advocacy and support to appeal NDIA decisions to people with disabilities in Cairns, Yarrabah, Mareeba and the Atherton Tablelands. 

We have assisted over 1,200 people in the past 15 years.  Our RIA Board of Management currently represents over 80 members, who are committed to social justice, equity and human rights for all people with disabilities, and we are a professional and quality assured organisation under the National Standards for Disability Services.

Donations help us promotion the rights of people with disabilities by addressing systemic issues and campaigns, presentations and static displays, social events and activities.

You can contribute to the direction of our organisation by attending meetings and providing your views and feedback that is welcomed and valued.

We hope you will join us and become involved.
