hoping for a better Administrative Review Tribunal

Dear Justice Kyrou and Mr Michael Hawkins

I write about some of the operations of the NDIS Division of the new Administrative Review Tribunal (ART). 

I am a volunteer advocate and have now helped over 60 NDIS participants in their requests for the AAT and ART to review the statements of participant supports (SOPS) in their NDIS Plans. These have mostly been reviews of plans for young autistic NDIS participants.

Complaint about DSS sponsored advice on ABA for families of autistic children

By convenor |

Dear sir/madam

I write to formally protest the current content of your webpage 
https://raisingchildren.net.au/autism/therapies-guide/applied-behaviour…
Its content is very poor quality and largely misleading. I suggest you revert to the page's previous content until more appropriate content can be developed in consultation with relevant stakeholders. 
I raised my concerns previously on 7/1/2025 but I have not heard from you. Please acknowledge my complaint.

We appreciate the efforts of many involved, and the commitment to provide a national strategy. We have contributed extensively to the Senate Select Committee on Autism and to the NAS (before and after the draft).

Hi Autism Aspergers Advocacy Australia

My name is Catherine and I am the Casting Director for The Assembly TV documentary series on ABC.  We were in contact for S1 and I wanted to let you know that we have started casting for the second series. We are offering autistic people with an interest in journalism the opportunity to take part and I was hoping you could help me share the news.
