Positive Partnerships

Positive Partnerships Tips, info & workshops to support school-aged autistic students. This reflects the bi-partisan support and value the government place on this program.

Nobody knows the complexities of parenting or caring for a child on the autism spectrum like you do. Every child is different; which is why partnerships with schools is important to foster, for this can provide the best support to a child's education. Bringing together your experience and intimate knowledge with our own evidence-based approach, we can create the most positive pathway through the c

omplexities of education for children and young people on the autism spectrum. Positive Partnerships provides professional support and assistance for parents and carers like you. Our solution based tools and workshops will help you build your confidence and knowledge in some of the key areas associated with supporting your child as they grow and develop. All of our online and in-person programs are backed and funded by the Australian Government, and have been since 2008. When we work together, we can help create a path for children that provides them with the best possible learning opportunities. If you feel you'd like to know more, share experiences and learn from others living your experience, we're here with authentic and practical support. Positive Partnerships is the foundation of a positive support network between parents, teachers, carers and the children in your care.

🙌 We recognise World Refugee Day on Saturday 20th June. 🙌

What started as a local initiative here in Australia, this has grown into an international movement, with celebrations now taking place in more than 20 countries.

This year’s theme recognises the milestone of Australia having issued one million humanitarian visas since the formal humanitarian program began in 1947. It reflects on how a single story of survival can shape generations to come.

At its core, the theme celebrates the collective impact of refugees and the communities that welcome them. It highlights the diverse cultures and experiences that continue to strengthen Australian society and foster connection.

At a time when global displacement is at record levels, Refugee Week serves as an important reminder of the role communities play in creating places of safety, belonging, and opportunity.

With Positive Partnerships providing resources to reach many families from refugee backgrounds, it's a reminder to have a look at what we've got to offer in 24 different languages.
