Support Work Services

In September 2022 ACT for Autism Australia launched a new support worker service, specialising in assisting children under 16 years old with a diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder residing in the Perth metropolitan area of Western Australia. Support workers receive ongoing autism-specific training and professional development and be available to provide 1:1 care in the home and the community.

A parent of a current or future client requesting one or more support workers will be contacted to discuss the information they have provided in their Expression of Interest for Support Worker Services and when suitable staff become available an induction period for the support worker and the family will begin.

A number of familiarisation shifts will be arranged and must be completed before a support worker can complete unsupervised time with your child. The number and nature of familiarisation shifts will be different for every client and this will be discussed with the family.

Please complete the EXpression of interest for support worker services form below if you would like someone to contact you about accessing support workers for your child (at this stage we are supporting north of the river clients in the perth metropolitan area)
