Vision, mission and values
The vision, mission and values that guide our work.
Our partners
Our strength comes from the people and organisations we work with. By working across sectors, disciplines and communities, we can connect evidence, expertise and lived experience to create outputs with real-world impact.
The work we do at the Sylvia Rodger Institute is only possible thanks to the support of our partners. We are committed to a national collaborative model, working with all stakeholders addressing agreed needs and delivering impact.
Our Members, Associates and Affiliates make up our formal network of national and international stakeholders. They share our vision to see autistic people with equity and opportunity.
Members
We also welcome the continued support of the Queensland Department of Education as project partner.
