Experienced public servant Anne Gale has been reappointed as South Australia’s Public Advocate for the next five years, continuing her work supporting some of the state’s most vulnerable citizens.

The Office of the Public Advocate is responsible for promoting the interests of people with a mental incapacity and their carers, reviewing programs to support mentally incapacitated people and identifying areas of unmet need, and acting as guardian of last resort where family or loved ones are unable to act as guardian for people with a mental incapacity.

Ms Gale was first appointed as Public Advocate in 2015, and again in 2020.
