About our services
The Victorian Office of the Public Advocate (OPA) provides services to protect and promote the rights, interests and dignity of people with disability (specifically intellectual impairment, mental disorder, brain injury or dementia) living in Victoria.
These services include guardianship, advice, education, information, research, advocacy and support. They are delivered by the Victorian Public Advocate, OPA employees and more than 650 OPA volunteers.
