Disability Services Minister Don Punch has officially opened new premises for the Ethnic Disability Advocacy Centre (EDAC) today.
EDAC was established in 1995 to support people with disability from non-English speaking backgrounds, their families and carers in accessing disability services.
EDAC provides advocacy services for people with all types of disability including physical, sensory, intellectual and psychiatric conditions.
In recent years EDAC has expanded into the wider Perth metropolitan area and the Pilbara and Kimberley regions, opening regional offices in Mandurah, Newman and Broome.
