ADA Australia's services are free, confidential and client directed. ADA Australia operates state-wide in Queensland with a head office in Brisbane and regional offices in Cairns, Townsville, Mackay, Rockhampton, Hervey Bay, Toowoomba, and the Gold Coast.

Since 2007 ADA Australia has also provided a guardianship advocacy service, supporting adults with guardianship and administration matters including support at tribunal hearings. ADA Australia's vision is to give vulnerable people a voice through information, education and support.
