Guide for use:
Where the exact dollar amount for advocacy services is unable to be provided an estimate should be derived from available local information. Where data are unavailable on grant amounts for specific service types, the value of grants not allocatable to specific service types should be reported under other and unspecified services grants to non-government organisations.
Advocacy services are subcategorised into 2 subtypes, however data are not expected to be reported at this level:
- Systemic - The representation and promotion of the rights, views and responsibilities of people affected by mental health issues in the community, public and private sectors at both domestic and international levels.
- Individual - The representation and promotion of the rights and views of the individual affected by a mental health issue.
