About SWAN

Our Vision

A community where every autistic person is able to live the life they choose.

Mission Statement

 To enhance the lives of autistic people and their families in their own communities by:
♥ Providing holistic support to individuals and their families through peer support, information, linkages, and advocacy
♥ Working together with autistic people and their families to build their capacity to make choices and have control in their own lives
♥ Working together with organisations and networks with similar values to share strategies and resources to bring about positive change and improve regional services
♥ Building the understanding, awareness, and capacity of the community, to enable participation, inclusion, and contribution of all people with disabilities.

Our Philosophy and Values

SWAN operates from a philosophy that all people have the right to live in inclusive and supportive communities.  Our work with individuals and families strives to uphold and promote the values of inclusion in line with our vision and mission statement.
