This page forms part of OCPSE Autism Strategy Action Plan 2025-2029.
The OCPSE Autism Strategy Action Plan should be read in conjunction with the SA Autism Strategy on the Inclusive SA website https://autismstrategy.sa.gov.au/.
While recognising the importance of all focus areas, our actions are grouped under the following SA Autism Strategy Action Plan focus areas and commitments as they are most closely aligned with our office’s functions, responsibilities and areas of work.
