We’ll be hosting an event designed by and for Autistic young people later this year.
We’re inviting Autistic young people to take part in a unique co-design project to create an inclusive event.
This is a great opportunity for Autistic young people to:
- connect with peers in a supportive and creative environment
- work together to create something meaningful
- make a real impact on their local community
- be heard by local government and help shape future inclusive initiatives in Boroondara.

We're looking for Autistic young people who:
- are between the ages of 16 and 25 (if the person is under 18, they'll need parental or guardian consent to participate)
- feel comfortable working in a small group

- are available to attend 3 in-person workshops on a Tuesday.
If you know a family member, friend, neighbour or community member who might like to get involved, please let them know about this opportunity.
