The Art for Autism project is in full swing!

We had the pleasure of visiting Artist Jenny in her studio and to see her art in action.

Alongside Maisie the studio dog, we enjoyed a walk through the studio to find out about the portrait sitting process and to learn how Jenny makes the painting process comfortable for each person.

Can you see yourself having your portrait and story captured? If you or someone you know, within the Curtin Electorate, has their own lived experience of Autism, you can nominate them to take part in the project and share their story with our community.

To learn more about this project or to submit a nomination, visit the Art for Autism website https://www.artforautism.com.au/

Communication Creates Possibility.

This Speech Pathology Week join us each day to hear from our team of Speech Pathologists and learn how they create possibility through communication for Autistic individuals and their families.

Our team of Speech Pathologists work alongside individuals with Autism to empower them to communicate and express themselves in their own way, building connection, confidence and inclusion.

What a wonderful coincidence that it falls during National Book Week, too! A great opportunity to reflect the many ways stories can be shared and how storytelling, in all its forms, connects us.

Your answers matter in the 2026 Census.

The National Australian Census takes place every 5 years and the next one is happening on Tuesday 11 August 2026.

Why is the Census important?

Your answers help the government make plans for health care, schools, and transport, as well as services in your community.

By participating in the Census, you help the government understand the needs of Australia’s Autistic community.

If you need extra support taking part, there are resources available including:

- Census Easy Read fact sheet
- Fact sheets for carers
- Pop-up hubs for in-person support
- National Relay Service (NRS) support
- Auslan video guides
- Screen reader compatibility
