We’ve launched Australia’s first-ever National Autism Strategy, making life better for the 290,900 Australians with Autism.
The plan is all about:
🌐 Building inclusion (social + economic)
🩺 Better health and mental health support
🛠️ Improving services and employment opportunities
Here’s what’s included in the $42.3 million Action Plan:
👉 Peer support programs led by real lived experiences.
👉 Easy-to-access resources for families, pre- and post-diagnosis.
👉 Awareness campaigns to help everyone understand Autism better.
👉 Boosted employment opportunities for individuals with autism.
This is a HUGE step toward a fairer, more supportive Australia.
👍
🙏
