About the organisation
Rights Information and Advocacy Centre (RIAC) is a not-for-profit organisation that builds the capacity and wellbeing of individuals, families, carers and communities through advocacy and support services. Thanks to Australian and Victorian Government funding, RIAC is currently able to empower communities across 22 local government areas spanning throughout regional Victoria and southern New South Wales.
From grass root beginnings, RIAC was initially founded in 1984 as a self-help group under the banner Council for the Disabled Goulburn Valley. Two years later they secured their first instalment of short term government funding to provide advocacy services; enabling them to set up their first office in Shepparton. Unfortunately the funding was not renewed and as a result, the organisation reverted back to its roots, as a self-help group.
