Do one thing for Autism Campaign
To build greater understanding of how autistic people can be better supported in the community, Amaze has launched a new campaign called Do One Thing For Autism. We’re asking people to take a 2 minute quiz to test their knowledge of autism and then pledge do one simple thing to make the world a little bit easier for autistic people everywhere.
Stronger Schools Petition
Schools are much more than just academic programs. They are places where children grow and places where young people start out in life. This pathway can be towards health, happiness and a lifetime of opportunity or it can be one towards disengagement and social exclusion. The Stronger Schools Campaign is calling for action to make sure every Victorian child has a fair start in life.

Petition: School transparency stops discrimination against the rights of our special needs children
Call to redress some of the discrimination against children with special needs in our Victorian Schools. It truly is horror story after horror story! The message of the hidden curriculum is that the special needs child has no value, that parents have nothing to offer to the formal education of their child, and that a home/school partnership is not valued.
Make the NDIS work campaign
The Federal Election is fast approaching and our pollies have already started down the campaign trail. Ahead of the May election, we want to know just what our MPs are going to do to fix the NDIS. it’s your chance to share a question you want our MPs to answer about how they plan to fix the NDIS. We’ve already set up the interviews. There is no better time to make sure our politicians listen and take action to deliver us the NDIS we fought for.
Deliver the Promise – Let’s get the NDIS on track
The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) promises a brighter future for thousands of Australians. But that promise is falling short. The way the NDIS is being delivered means it’s not yet working for everyone. If we don’t act now, disability service providers across the country face collapse. Without providers, the NDIS just won’t work. What we’re calling for…
It’s time for automatic funding for children with autism in public schools
