Find out about two new developments from the Australian Autism Research Council (AARC).

The AARC has now released the Report of the Australian Autism Research Priorities 2019 and is calling for expressions of interest for membership of AARC for the next term (Jan 2020 – Dec 2021).

We are pleased to announce our first official Autism CRC Research Co-production Partners: Autism Spectrum Australia (Aspect), Curtin University, Macquarie University and University of Southern Queensland.

These organisations have demonstrated a sustained commitment to quality research co-production, producing translatable outcomes relevant to the needs of the community.

The Australian Autism Biobank is a long awaited resource that will aid in increasing our knowledge of the autism spectrum and co-occurring conditions.

We had more than 2,900 autistic and non-autistic children and adults participate, from across Australia. We collected biological samples and questionnaire data.

We have officially launched the Sylvia Rodger Academy.

The Academy will deliver nationwide programs that are co-designed and developed with autistic adults, with the aim of empowering autistic adults to contribute to policy and practice impacting upon their lives.

The Guideline aims to create greater consistency in diagnostic practices across the country to ensure individuals on the autism spectrum and their families can receive the optimal clinical care.

The community has been requesting a national and consistent guideline for autism assessment and diagnosis for many years, and we are pleased to release a guideline that responds to this need.

Autistic people empowered to discover and use their diverse strengths and interests, with our mission to motivate, facilitate and translate collaborative autism research across the life span, underpinned by inclusive practices.
