Autism Services

In reply to the Hon. H.M. GIROLAMO ().21 March 2024).

The Hon. E.S. BOURKE: The Minister for Education, Training and Skills has advised:

The Office for Autism has released a tender to provide eligible school students with access to autism assessments at no cost to their families. With assistance from the Department for Education, the program will prioritise students in Northern Adelaide at risk of being disengaged from education, from low socio-economic backgrounds and those currently awaiting assessment in the public system.
