Application Process
The Autism SA Professional Practice Committee reviews research applications for their relevance and impact upon the Autism Spectrum Disorder community in South Australia. The Committee is responsible for approving advertising projects on the website, through the Autism SA Infomail, targeted mail-outs and other mediums. It also provides advice on matters relating to delivery of support services and provision of treatments, interventions and therapies.
For approved research, Autism SA can offer advertising in the Autism SA Infomail and on the Autism SA website, and in some cases further options may be discussed with you. To download a brochure with advertising prices, please click
