Autistic people deserve access to high-quality health care that enables them to lead healthy and fulfilling lives.
The National Roadmap to Improve the Health and Mental Health of Autistic People 2025-2035 (the Roadmap) is our opportunity to build the health system that meets Autistic people's needs.
We developed the Roadmap in close consultation with Autistic people, the autism community, academic experts, and health and mental health professionals. This included a national co-design process and public consultation.
By releasing the Roadmap, the Australian Government recognises the path to improve the health and mental health of Autistic people.
The Roadmap forms the fourth pillar of Australia's National Autism Strategy 2025-2031 (the NAS). The NAS sets out the broader vision for a safe and inclusive society for all Autistic people.
