About the Advocacy Register (AR)

You can use the AR to find an ESO with qualified advocates who are trained to assist you in accessing services relating to wellbeing, rehabilitation, compensation and appeals for unsuccessful claims.

The information regarding contact details for Ex-Service Organisations (ESOs) held on the AR is maintained by the ESOs. Information regarding the number of qualified advocates linked to an ESO is derived from the ATDP database.

When you contact an ESO seeking advocacy services, you are advised to sight a Statement of Attainment confirming an Advocate’s qualification from the Course in Military Advocacy (11019NAT), a current Letter of Authorisation issued by the ESO and also to confirm that the ESO has Professional Indemnity insurance coverage.
