Creating Inclusive Communities
Our Community Inclusion Program is focused on working with community organisations and venues to increase opportunities and create spaces and experiences for all to enjoy.
A community for all
Our Community Inclusion program has been developed to ensure all people with Autism are able to participate in recreational, leisure, and community events. We work with families, individuals with Autism, as well as community organisations and businesses to increase opportunities and inclusion in the community for all.

Supporting families and individuals with Autism
What is the goal of the program?
Our Community Inclusion program supports families and individuals with Autism by:
- Providing information about accessible programs in the community
- Facilitating special sensory events.
- Providing resources and information to prepare for visiting community events and organisations.
We also work with various community organisations and businesses to:
- Upskill staff through Autism-specific training and coaching.
- Support in making appropriate accommodations and adaptations to facilitate inclusion and participation in their programs and facilities.
- Provide ongoing consultation, support, resources and information to increase access and inclusion for all.
This project is part of the WA State Disability Strategy 2020-2030 and is made possible with the support of the Department of Communities.
