Positive Partnerships 2012 in Australia

Positive Partnerships is pleased to announce the continued commitment by the Australian Government through the Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations (DEEWR) of funding for phase two of Positive Partnerships (2012 – 2015).

Positive Partnerships will be delivered by Partnerships between Education and the Autism Community (PEAC).This is a national consortium comprising Autism Spectrum Australia (Aspect) as the lead agency, Autism Queensland, Autism SA and Flinders University SA.

Our focus will be to build upon the successful outcomes of the past four years, and to ensure the continuation of high quality Positive Partnerships' workshop delivery, materials and practical resources.

The 2012-15 Positive Partnership Program will:

  • Continue to provide workshops to parents/carers, giving participants the tools to form mutually beneficial partnerships with their children's school.
  • Create an "autism friendly" culture in schools by training more teachers, school leaders and other education professionals about how to best support students with autism in the classroom.
  • Increase autism support and training in regional/rural areas, through workshops and online materials.
