Almost, two months after A4 made its submission to the Thriving Kids inquiry, the Committee got around to publishing a redacted version of the submission - see https://www.aph.gov.au/DocumentStore.ashx?id=aa16eb63-911d-40fb-a99f-3d….

A4 is a national disability representative organisation (DRO) for autism that is recognised by government. A4 is the only national recognised DRO for autism representing the full autism spectrum.

The Committee conducted numerous hearings before it got around to acknowledging A4's submission. 

The redaction omits the story of a child with severe autism who the NDIS initially considered too mild to be eligible even for early intervention. It took 7 months to break through their gatekeeper.

A4 understands that the Australian Autism Alliance (another DRO recognised by government) also made a submission that the Committee has yet to publish.
