Funding boost for National Autism Strategy
A further $2 million in Commonwealth funding has been committed to progress the National Autism Strategy.
The funding will enable national cooperative research organisation, Autism CRC, to continue its research and provide advice to the Federal Government when developing the Strategy.
The Strategy is a welcome step towards improving life outcomes for the growing number of Australians on the autism spectrum and with other neurodevelopmental conditions.
It’s an overarching approach to enabling people with autism to better navigate and access opportunities to build the life they want.
The Strategy is intended to form a whole-of-life plan for Australians with autism and other neurodevelopmental conditions and will aim to positively change systems and practices in areas such as education, vocation and healthcare for people on the autism spectrum and their families.
Minister for Social Services, the Hon Amanda Rishworth MP, said the Federal Government was partnering with Autism CRC to make sure the Strategy was developed in consultation with everyday Australians with autism.
