Autism Works Employment Summit

Autism CRC attended the inaugural Summit at the Adelaide Convention Centre, along with 500 other participants in an event hosted by the South Australian Office for Autism in April.

Designed for workplaces at any stage of their inclusion journey, the Summit showcased the diverse and valuable skillsets autistic people can bring to key industries including defence, energy, advanced manufacturing, mining, construction, IT, property and tourism.

The Summit was a great opportunity to showcase myWAY Employability, Self-Advocacy@Work and other Autism CRC employment-related resources.

Look out for us at the SPA and OTA conferences

You can find us at the Adelaide Convention Centre in June when we exhibit at:

Speech Pathology Australia Conference (13‑15 June)
Occupational Therapy Australia Conference (25-27 June).

We look forward to sharing information about our eLearning, National Guidelines and the new National Framework with event attendees. Please stop by our booth if you’re attending!
