Membership eligibility
The Terms of Reference define who is eligible to be become a member of the AARC, and ensure that a range of key communities are represented on the council.
Autistic people in the AARC
Autistic people play a significant role in the Australasian Autism Research Council (AARC) both as members of the Council and as community members who choose to engage with our consultations. There is requirement that one of the two chairs of the AARC must be autistic. Approximately half of the Council members of the AARC identify as autistic and these members also bring a range of other valuable perspectives to the AARC’s work.
