National Framework for assessing children’s functional strengths and support needs in Australia
The Framework provides a consistent, evidence-based and culturally responsive approach for assessing, differentiating, and reporting children’s functional strengths and support needs.
Launched in December 2024, the Framework focuses on professional practice when working with children aged 0-12 years and their families in Australia, including children who do not have a diagnosed condition.
National Guideline for the assessment and diagnosis of autism in Australia
The first unified approach to the assessment and diagnosis of autism in Australia. This Guideline provides an evidence-based framework through which practitioners can work effectively, safely and appropriately in conducting assessments for autism in Australia.
Recommendations reflect multiple converging sources of evidence from research, clinical practice, and the views and preferences of the autistic and autism communities.
All Recommendations are approved by the National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC). Registering will give you access to the complete Guideline document including all Recommendations.
National Guideline for supporting the learning, participation, and wellbeing of autistic children and their families in Australia
This Guideline provides clear and consistent Recommendations and Good Practice Points for practitioners who deliver supports to autistic children and their families, to ensure they are doing so in ways that are effective, safe and desirable to children and their families.
This Guideline focuses on practitioners delivering non-pharmacological supports in community and clinical settings that aim to support children aged 0-12 years but has a lifespan perspective, recognising that early supports should lay the foundation for a positive future.
All Recommendations are approved by the National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC). Registering will give you access to the complete Guideline document, Recommendations and Good Practice Points.

Participatory and Inclusive Autism Research Practice Guides
These Guides provide researchers with the tools to ensure end-user driven research that delivers practical outcomes and resources that benefit the community. By understanding, recognising and valuing the lived experience, researchers can:
- give end-users the opportunity to shape the research that is done about them
- produce research that is more relevant and beneficial to the community
- improve participant recruitment
- build community capacity and skills by including end-users in the processes and practices of research.
