To make sure that the Autism State Plan reflects the views and experiences of people with an ASD, their families and carers, people and organisations that provide services, doctors, teachers and academics and others, there will be a consultation process to seek views.
The consultation has two stages, the first stage is now complete and the summary of outcomes is available below. A second targeted stage of consultation will be undertaken during 2008 before the draft Autism State Plan is submitted for government consideration later in 2008.
Additional information can be accessed here for details. You can also visit the Autism State Plan website.
