Autism Friendly and the Hidden Disabilities Sunflower

Living with a hidden disability, like autism, can make accessing the community more challenging for people. And hidden disabilities can be difficult for others to recognise, which is often the biggest barrier for people accessing additional support and understanding.

Wearing the Hidden Disabilities Sunflower lanyard discreetly indicates to others that the wearer (or support person with them) has a hidden disability. It lets them know that they may need additional help or simply more time. And it lets others create a better world of inclusion with disabilities.

Assessments via telehealth

The Telehealth process is largely unchanged from face-to-face assessment. The only difference is that conversations will happen online rather than face-to-face.

Our campuses & satellite classes

The Aspect Hunter School has provided specialised autism education for over 40 years across the Newcastle region.

A young man with short hair and a trimmed beard stands outside, looking off into the distance with a thoughtful expression. He is wearing a navy blue, orange, and white striped polo shirt with a logo that reads "Aspect Hunter School." Behind him, a woman with shoulder-length brown hair smiles warmly in his direction. She is dressed in a black jacket and has sunglasses resting on her head. The setting appears to be outdoors, with soft, natural lighting and a relaxed atmosphere.

Adult autism services

Are you looking to make new friends? Start a new adventure? Learn a new skill? We would love to have you join us. Community Service.
provides you with the opportunity to have fun while trying new activities and learning new skills within the community.
We all need a place where we feel good, and that helps us to thrive and grow in our own time and space. Our community centres are that place for adults on the autism spectrum.
Because we get to know our adult participants, really know them, we quickly become a strong co-partner in recommending and supporting what they need and want, now and into the future.

Our current broad variety of activities and fun day programs for Autistic adults are fantastic and well loved, but it’s how we find, and even create, new activities based on your family member that makes us pretty special.There’s nothing better than turning up every day and seeing friendly, familiar faces ready to get the day started. Our adult participants feel comfortable and safe being in a group environment that very quickly becomes their home-away-from-home. And our families and carers have peace of mind knowing that when they’re not with them, our team is the next best thing.
