After many years of advocacy by people with autism and their communities, the South Australian Government has begun work on an Autism Strategy and Charter. The strategy will be co-designed by consulting people with autism, their families, service providers and the broader autism community.   

The state government and the autistic community believe the strategy is an important step towards creating a more inclusive society for autistic people. Consultation is key to the process, with the government creating a discussion paper and inviting submissions.
