The Learning for Life Autism Centre alongside another mental health charity, Mind Australia, are privileged to be selected as beneficiaries for a week of fun and fundraising by Green Acres Golf Club. With all L4Life fundraising events being put on pause for this year, we are incredibly grateful that this week is going ahead (if Covid restrictions allow).

The Learning for Life Autism Centre’s campaign for Run Melbourne this year was truly a special one. Even with state restrictions, our L4Life Team completed their virtual events. And the fundraising efforts were amazing – our team and supporters raised $13,599! We are so proud to see our team in green with their smiles and our L4Life Village encouraging them all the way. The wonderful team spirit and connection was awesome. We are so very grateful for all of this, what a wonderful result!

The Learning for Life Autism Centre is proud to be a Major Sponsor for the upcoming ABA Today 2021 conference on October 15th and 16th, convened by the Autism Behavioural Intervention Association (ABIA). The theme is Voices and Choices.

Our thanks and farewell – Robyn and Sue

April was Autism Awareness Month and the Learning for Life Autism Centre celebrated with our fifth Autism AbiliTEA! It was all about bringing awareness to autism, and celebrating autistic people and their abilities, strengths and voices, to help bring awareness, acceptance and appreciation about autism and people living with autism.

In February 2021, Learning for Life, represented by Emma Miller and Sarah Wood, was invited to present at the Senate Inquiry following L4Life’s written submission in June 2020 to the Federal Government’s Select Committee on Autism.

Claire Birrell and Elisha Mont, two of Learning for Life’s Clinical Supervisors, have each officially become a BCBA (Board Certified Behaviour Analyst). Congratulations Claire and Elisha!

The Learning for Life Autism Centre is seeking a committed and passionate individual to join our board of directors. We are keen to hear from applicants who can bring specific professional experience (such as finance or legal) or who are able to contribute to diversity of voices and experiences in our governance process.
