Our Strategic Plan

As Aspect moves into its next strategic horizon, the achievements of the past three years form a strong foundation for the future. The new 2026–2030 strategy builds on these successes and channels them into the four new pillars: Influence, Access, Strength, and Impact.

The evidence-based services and strong systems we’ve established now underpin our pursuit of measurable outcomes (Impact) and organisational resilience (Strength). Our partnerships and inclusion initiatives evolve into system-level collaboration and policy leadership (Influence), while innovation, digital investment, and inclusive design open new pathways for participation (Access). The next five years will see Aspect evolve from a trusted provider to a transformative leader.

Strategic Goals

INFLUENCE

Lead transformative change in policy and systems

We want to be a trusted voice that helps shape Australia’s autism policies. We’ll do this by using good research, strong partnerships, and the lived experience of Autistic people.

Our goal is to create lasting improvements in education, jobs, and community life so Autistic people can thrive.

ACCESS

Open doors to access and participation

We want to provide accessible supports for Autistic people.

We will harness technology to reach more people wherever they are and keep building Aspect’s leadership in innovative education and autism supports that evolve as people’s needs change over time.

STRENGTH

Build a resilient organisation for the future

We will invest in new skills and opportunities that help us innovate and develop so we become more sustainable.

We will use connected digital systems and good data to guide decisions, and keep building an inclusive, safe and motivated workforce that’s ready for the future.

IMPACT

Measure what matters to maximise impact

We will lead the way in showing how our services make a real difference. We’ll share strong, meaningful stories about the positive impact on Autistic people and their communities.

We will use what we learn from our impact and evaluations to keep improving our services so they make the biggest difference possible.
