So what does AFSA do?

The Autistic Family Support Association Inc. (AFSA) was formed in the mid 1980’s by families for families and has continued to support Victorian families with a family member with Autism, Asperger’s Syndrome and PDD-NOS for over 20 years. You can read more about the AFSA story here.

The AFSA committee and many AFSA members are actively raising our community’s concerns with state and/or federal government policy makers. We encourage everyone to get involved ask us how. Go to our Advocacy page here.

A key objective is to assist families in similar situations to network with each other. For more information about local support groups have a look at Get Support.

You can also find other reliable autism related websites at Links.

You can find out more about what is happening in our news section and we would love for you to join the AFSA family!
