Autism Tasmania

What Autism Tasmania does

Autism Tasmania is a registered charity established in 1991 that delivers support services for autistic individuals and their families across Tasmania, Australia. The organization serves all life stages—from early childhood (under 6 years) through adults (25+)—alongside families and carers, operating through four core programs: Autism Advisory Services, Learning & Development, Peer & Social Networks, and Advocacy. These are supplemented by a Resource Library, Events & Workshops, and News & Updates. Autism Tasmania has supported over 1,000 families and provides 24/7 support availability through phone (03 6722 5000), email ([email protected]), and scheduled in-person appointments.

The organization operates as a service-based charity with no proprietary technology platform, software product, mobile application, or API disclosed. Service delivery relies entirely on human-delivered support across direct phone consultation, email correspondence with a 24-hour response commitment, and in-person consultations at its Hobart headquarters at Level 2, 168 Collins Street. Distribution is exclusively domestic within Tasmania, with no global footprint or cross-border operations. The primary digital presence is the website (autismtas.org.au), which functions as an information and resource hub rather than a transactional or interactive platform.

As a registered charity (ABN: 90215494454) incorporated in Tasmania, Autism Tasmania operates on a donation-funded, non-fee-based model where services are provided free of charge to beneficiaries. Revenue sources include donations, government grants, and charitable foundations, though specific revenue streams and financial figures are not disclosed. The organization is governed by a board of directors including Chairperson Skie Mitchell and board members James Baker, Laura Godfrey, and Shelley-Maree Brooks. It is an independent entity with no parent company, subsidiaries, institutional investors, or external ownership.
