Registration Fee
A $200 application fee is payable when applying to be included on a school waitlist. This amount is non-refundable. It covers the administration and management of the application process including consideration and storage of reports and information provided to consider the placement. The payment does not guarantee placement.
How our Enrolment works
School Fees
A student's placement at one of our schools is partially funded by the state and federal governments. However, these contributions do not cover all the costs of our specialised intensive approach to autism education. The balance of the cost of each place is met through school fees, which are subject to annual review.
Come to a school info session
Give us a call on (02) 4651 3900 to find out when the next one will be held.
Join the wait list
To register as a student, just fill out a registration form (you can either get this at the information sessions or by contacting Aspect)
A spot opens up
When a position becomes available at the school, the School Enrolment Committee considers all the students on the wait list. This decision is made based on a number of factors- it's not simply on a "first come, first served" basis.
Family interview
Before a student is officially offered a place, they may be invited to meet with our team (together with family or careres).
Enrolment offer
Once there's a place available, we'll send a formal letter of offer and an Enrolment Contract to the student's parents or carer. You'll need to accept the offer by signing and returning the Enrolment Contract and paying the non-refundable enrolment fee.
Who is eligible?
Eligible students:
• Are Australian citizens, permanent residents of Australia or hold an eligible Australian visa.
• Have had a formal diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder in the last two years.
When a child is deemed eligible, they will be registered on the school’s waiting list. The order of placement on the waiting list does not determine the order of an enrolment offer.
