An unforgettable day out on the water! ACN members set sail aboard the STS Young Endeavour for a hands-on adventure full of teamwork, confidence-building, and laughter.

ACN’s Carers High Tea at Conca D’oro Riverwood was a heartfelt celebration of the incredible carers in our community. Filled with laughter, connection, and inspiration, the day reminded carers that they are seen, valued, and deserving of rest and joy. From music and meditation to powerful panel discussions, it was a beautiful reminder that when carers take time to recharge, everyone benefits.

Come along and join in the fun at ACN’s October groups! Dressing up is optional, and everyone’s welcome, whether you want to don an Indiana Jones hat, a Pokémon costume, or be yourself. Our friend James brings a fantastic costume collection, so there’s something for everyone!

ACN recently hosted a free Family Day at the Bungarribee Community Resource Hub, bringing together 38 autistic children and their families for a day of fun, connection, and support during the October school holidays

Transitioning to adulthood brings new challenges – and one of the most difficult questions carers face is: what happens when I’m no longer here? Join us on 30 September for a FREE event with HWLE Lawyers, covering guardianship, wills, trusts, and more.

R U OK? Day is more than just one day at Autism Community Network (ACN). At our recent event with Kindspire Support and Beyond Fun, we were reminded of the life-changing power of asking “Are you OK?”, with courage, honesty, and community at the heart of every conversation.

On R U OK? Day, ACN is proud to stand with carers, families, and our community partners to raise awareness of mental health. For carers in particular, the toll can be immense, which is why peer support, connection, and safe spaces are so important.

ACN welcomes the Federal Government’s Thriving Kids initiative, recognising the vital role of peer support and early intervention in helping every child thrive.

The Autism Community Network (ACN) was honoured to join Oatley Lions Club for their monthly dinner, sharing stories of impact and gratitude for their incredible support.

The Autism Community Network’s new Autistic Adults Social Club in Camden is now open, offering laughter, fun activities, and new friendships in a welcoming space.
