About the project

The Foundation proudly partnered with the AEIOU Foundation to deliver a $5 million purpose-built early intervention centre for young children with autism, located within the John James Village precinct in Garran.

Since opening in 2021, this award-winning facility has transformed access to specialised autism services in Canberra. It offers dedicated care and education to up to 40 children aged 2–6 with severe autism, alongside vital support for their families and carers.
