FOCUS AREA 5: Participation in the community

Objective: We want a truly inclusive South Australia where Autistic people can meaningfully participate in the community without restriction.

Actions made under Focus Area 5 aim to address feedback from the Autistic and autism communities regarding their experiences accessing supports and services, the need for accessible and sensory-friendly spaces in the community and the importance of recognising the diversity of Autistic experiences.

• Commitment 1: Consider how the built environment may impact Autistic people and identify opportunities for improvement across current and future infrastructure projects.
• Commitment 2: Identify ways to improve accessible transport options and the accessibility of public spaces and venues, including signage and wayfinding tools.
• Commitment 3: Partner with organisations, sporting clubs, local councils and community services to support inclusive initiatives for Autistic people of all ages.
