I’m excited to be heading to the Asia-Pacific Autism Conference in November—connecting with experts, learning from new research, and bringing it all back to strengthen the support I offer at TGS.

APAC - Asia Pacific Autism Conference | 13 - 15 November 2025 | Perth, WA, Australia

Created by The Australian Youth Climate Coalition.

Peter Dutton — the leader of the Coalition and the alternate Prime Minister — said he doesn’t make the connection, [1] between extreme weather and climate change…. (It’s literally science, but ok… 😅) While Dutton dodges the truth, young people are living it — and taking action.

This is a great way to explain emotional overload.

I've been working with a client, Will, for the past six years... since he was in year 7. Tonight I attended his 18th birthday party 🎉 and was humbled to be included in his family's speech as being an important part of Will's life. 🥂

The pleasure has been all mine 😁, to support and encourage Will to overcome his challenges and become the amazing young man he is today 👨‍🦱. I look forward to continuing to support you for as long as you'll have me. 💜

Great news! SA was first at State Level, now Federal is following. It's so wonderful to see real advances in government beginning to acknowledge our neurodiverse community.

For all our neurodiverse women and girls, this is a wonderful resource!

This is wonderful news for neurodiverse families who need to access Service SA, always so stressful!

Have you experienced Quiet Hour at our service centres? 🕓

Every Saturday from 4–5pm, we create a calmer environment with dimmed lights, muted announcements, silent phones and fewer people.

This initiative reduces sensory stimulation, making it easier for our neurodivergent community to access services and complete essential tasks in a more inclusive and welcoming space.

📍 Quiet Hour is being trialed at Elizabeth, Marion, Modbury, Prospect and Seaford Meadows Service SA centres.
