About the Office for Autism
South Australia is leading the way when it comes to Autism inclusion. For the first time in our State’s history the government of South Australia has established the Office for Autism to place Autistic voices at the heart of decision making and work towards improving outcomes for Autistic and autism communities in South Australia.
Through the development of policies and initiatives that support access, inclusion, awareness, opportunity, connection and belonging, the Office for Autism is working towards a state where Autistic individuals can live their best lives, and their families and communities are supported and valued.
