Membership eligibility

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. The majority of AARC members identify as autistic and these members also bring a range of other valuable perspectives to the AARC’s work.
