Our services include Queensland’s only accredited, non-state schools located at Sunnybank and Brighton delivering Autism-specific education and therapy programs; Centres of Excellence in Far North and Central Queensland; as well as outreach, training and support services for parents, professionals and schools across the state. Autism Queensland is involved in a variety of research programs in collaboration with universities to better understand Autism and develop improved interventions for people with Autism in the future. Demand for our services is growing every year – we now support over 3,000 people with Autism across Queensland, this is up 40 per cent from 10 years ago.
