Aspergers Victoria has advocated for our community needs for many years with strong results. Our community need is often hidden from view by governments and relevant organisations. At AV we work to draw attention to the very specific needs of our Aspergers Autistics and other similar neurodiverse profiles in our community. 

Our current advocacy includes: 

Submission to the Department fo Education & Training with VCAA

Victoria's senior secondary curriculum is being reformed. Under the changes, there would be an integrated VCE with a vocational specialist scheme (in place of VCAL) and a new Foundation Pathways Certificate for students who are not ready to complete VCE. We are working with partners and the Victorian Government to ensure the changes are not to the detriment of our community. Read our submission is here
