Introduction

The South Australian Autistic and autism communities have long advocated for improved knowledge and understanding, support and acceptance of Autistic people. In response, the Government of South Australia conducted extensive consultation with the Autistic and autism community to shape the development of the first SA Autism Strategy 2024–2029 (the Strategy).

The Strategy, launched in June 2024, is the Government of South Australia’s commitment to addressing the barriers and challenges raised by Autistic people, their families and carers across all aspects of life.

The SA Autism Strategy Action Plan 2025–2029 (Action Plan) outlines the actions which the Government of South Australia will take to respond to the commitments made within the Strategy. This Action Plan should be read in conjunction with the SA Autism Strategy 2024-2029.
