Amaze is a leading autism organisation driving change so that Autistic people and their families can live their best lives.

Amaze builds autism understanding in the community, influences policy change for Autistic people and their families/supporters, and provides independent, credible information and resources to individuals, families, professionals, government and the wider community.

At Amaze, we offer a range of solutions to support Autistic people and their families at all life stages including Autism Connect, Australia’s national autism hotline, and the A-Plus Program, who helps organisations build the skills and confidence of managers, HR professionals, and all employees to support Autistic experiences at work.

Curtin Autism Research Group is one of the largest cross faculty research groups at Curtin University, and includes academics, clinicians, student’s lay-persons and people living with autism.

This group is led by Prof Sonya Girdler, who leads research of global significance focused on participation, the school years and transitioning from school, employment, peer mentoring, social skills training, strengths-based approaches, mental health and supports for families.

CARG’s research is conducted in partnership with government departments and local organisations including Spectrum Space, Kiind and Autism Association of WA. CARG is also a partner of Autism CRC. Internationally, CARG collaborates closely with Karolinska Institute in Sweden, one of the world’s leading medical universities.

Research undertaken by CARG has had a profound impact on the autistic community, with its researchers receiving numerous prestigious national and international awards for their contributions including the Quacquarelli Symonds (SQ) Reimagine Education Gold Access, Diversity and Inclusion Award (2023), the Triple E Awards 2023 – Community Engagement Initiative of the Year, and the joint winner of 2022 Premier’s Science Awards for Engagement Initiative.
