The Office of the Public Advocate promotes and protects the rights of people with impaired decision-making capacity through the delivery of systemic advocacy.

The Public Advocate is committed to evidence-based systemic advocacy that explores and extends our knowledge and influence on inclusive policy, programs and practices to promote improved life opportunities and outcomes for people with impaired decision making ability.

The Public Advocate does not have the authority to investigate a complaint or allegation about an individual, though information about individual cases may inform the systemic advocacy work by the Office.
