Autism Awareness Australia is the nation's leading not-for-profit autism education and advocacy organisation, founded in 2007. We're dedicated to increasing awareness of autism in the community by providing targeted educational programs for parents and professionals, and advocating for the needs of individuals on the spectrum and their families.
Our campaigns and events have reached millions of Australians. We are proud to have delivered all of our programs free of charge across the country, including rural and regional communities.
Our work has even been recognised by the United Nations, and we were invited to become a member organisation of their Department of Public Information in 2011. We're the only Australian autism organisation associated with the UN and have been asked to present at their headquarters in New York in 2011 and 2013.
Our mission is to spark positive change by increasing awareness and understanding of autism in Australia. We hope our efforts will lead to earlier diagnosis and more effective treatments, helping to reduce the impact autism has on a child and their family.
