Austism Advisory and Support Service (AASS) was established in 2007 by a group of parents from South Western Sydney to fill the void in the health care sector encountered by families of children with Autism.
AASS was established as a suport and network/advisory service to empower children with Autism and their families through knowledge and support, and to positively impact and influence their children's social and emotional development
AASS is run by volunteers and has the legal status as a not for profit incorporated charity. AASS relies on funding grants, donations and sponsorships to met its operational costs. Despite these financial obstacles AASS has grown in size and been able to expand its range of service delivery.
Since its inception AASS has:
- Opened the AASS Community House/drop in centre, located in Memorial Avenue, Liverpool;
- Established, coordinated and hosts support groups;
- Established, coordinated and hosts respite programs;
- Runs a parent library and toy library;
- Established, coordinated and facilites Australia's only 24 hour Autism Hotline
AASS continues to provide these services free of charge to the parents, carers and service providers of children wiht Autism. The service began by supporting families in South West Seyndey and now has grown as a support service to families in Western Sydney and in every state of Australia. It handles approximately 200 enquiries/cases per month.
