We will check how an autism diagnosis works.

We will create a group of professionals to give us advice.

For example, doctors.

We will share clear information about different ways to get a diagnosis.

We will share guides about autism with:

• Aboriginal communities

• multicultural communities.

Multicultural communities include people who:

• come from different cultures and backgrounds
• speak different languages.

We will also share:

• new guides for schools about supporting Autistic girls

• information for families about services they can use after they get a diagnosis.

We will also train people who care for Autistic children in out-of-home care.

Out-of-home care is housing for a child who:

• can’t live with their parents or carer
• might live with a different family.

We will try new ways to support Autistic students in the classroom.

We will train teachers about autism.

We will create tools to help students change schools.

For example, from primary school to high school.

We will also make it easier for families to check if their children have autism.

We will offer these checks:

• in schools
• for free.

We will train people who work for the government about autism.

We will check government rules about hiring people.

We will keep sharing information to help people understand:

• how Autistic people can help their business.
• how to include Autistic people in their business.

We will also share more information about services that support people with disability to find work.

We will create guides to help service staff support Autistic families.

We will also check information and programs to help parents and carers.

We will update the way we design alarms to make sure they work well for Autistic people.

For example, alarms that don’t use bright lights or loud noises.

We will create rules about how to design spaces that work well for Autistic people.

We will think about what Autistic people need when we improve transport.

For example, buses, trains and taxis.

We will pay for programs that support Autistic people to take part in their community.

We will make sure places for sports and community activities are accessible.

When something is accessible, it is easy to:

• find and use
• move around in.

We will create resources to take away barriers.

A barrier is something that stops you from doing what you:

• need to do
• want to do.

We will also train health care professionals about autism.

For example:

• doctors

• nurses

• emergency services – like police and ambulance drivers.

We will make it easier for people to find their way around hospitals.

We will also create resources to help emergency departments at hospitals support Autistic people.

We will give people autism training, including:

• police

• prison staff

• court staff.

We will make sure court websites meet the needs of Autistic people.

We will change some designs inside prisons to support Autistic people.
