Expanding Fair Access for Children with Autism
Our significant funding contribution to the Learning for Life Autism Centre this year has played a vital role in ensuring that children with autism- and their families- receive the support they need, when they need it most. Through our support, Learning for Life has been able to expand their Fair Access Program, which directly removes financial barriers for families facing hardship.
“This investment is already having a meaningful and measurable impact. Families who were previously unsure how they would access or sustain early intervention services now have a clear path forward. Children are starting therapy earlier- during the most critical developmental windows- and families are able to remain engaged in consistent support, rather than pausing due to cost. The support of Community Bank Inner East helped us realise the goal of raising significant funds for Fair Access, ensuring autistic and neurodivergent children can access life-changing support, regardless of their financial circumstances.” Learning for Life.
