Unveiling the Sylvia Rodger Academy

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.

National Autism Guideline now available

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.
