Our Team ...

We are an Autistic-led Organisation Run by our Community, for our Community

Like many in the not-for-profit sector ASAN AUNZ is predominantly run and supported by volunteers; volunteers committed to systemic advocacy. This advocacy works to support all Autistic people towards active citizenship, living our best lives and making meaningful contributions in our community.

Our board members serve our community by volunteering their time to ASAN AUNZ and shaping the Autistic rights movement in Australia and New Zealand.

These are not complete lists of membership as some members choose to have public profiles, while others prefer to contribute privately. We respect both.

We are currently preparing member profiles for those that wish to make their contribution public.
