About Us
Amaze is a leading autism organisation working to create a more autism-inclusive Australia where Autistic people and their families can live their best lives. For nearly 60 years, Amaze has supported Autistic people, families and carers, while working to improve the systems, environments and organisational practices that shape Autistic lives.
With national reach, Amaze is home to Autism Connect – Australia’s national autism information, advice and referral service – providing free, trusted and evidence-informed support to people across Australia.
Through Amaze Inclusion, we work with employers, service providers, governments and community organisations to build capability and create more inclusive practices and environments across workplaces, education, health, services and other areas of community life.
Across our work, we provide information, advice, support and connection; increase public understanding and inclusion; influence policy and systems; and work with organisations and sectors to create practical and sustained change.
Our work is led by Autistic lived experience and informed by family and carer experience, research, practice evidence and the insights we gain through our direct connection with Autistic communities. This keeps our work grounded in what matters to Autistic people and helps us translate evidence and experience into meaningful change.
