May-June Running Events

Join us at one of these two running events in the coming months to help us support autism families! Whether you love to run, or just want to get a group of friends together, there's activities for all abilities that allow you to support our good cause.

So, why fundraise for us?

At Autism Awareness Australia, our mission is to support Australians on the autism spectrum and the people that love and care for them. This support takes the form of free and evidence-based information, tools and resources available here on our main website, and on our other website Autism: What Next?, which provides support for autistic children, adults and their loved ones in the first twelve to eighteen months after an autism diagnosis.

We are currently developing a new online training platform which will support people of all ages and backgrounds to access the most up-to-date information about autism to best support themselves or a person they know on the spectrum. By raising funds for us, you will enable us to deliver this platform Australia-wide, ensuring everyone can find credible and accessible autism information anytime and anywhere.
