Purpose
The grant aims to deliver meaningful outcomes for Autistic children, their families, carers and kin.

- Building skills and confidence of families, carers and kin of Autistic children

Scope
The scope includes:
- Delivery of engagement activities that are locally relevant and tailored to meet the needs of families, carers and kin with intersectional experiences, including, but not limited to, First Nations people, Culturally and Linguistically Diverse people, rural and remote communities and parents with disabilities
Funding
Funding will be provided for a two-year period, with the potential to extend up to June 2031, subject to performance, program requirements and decisions of government.
