April 10, 2024 at 2:26 pmI’m looking for some advice or information on A single mother moving to the Gold Coast with an Autistic son 18 years of age.
I have already emailed enquiring I formation to the group support there for Autism. NZ has become unbearable for trying to get the right help and the wait times for any form of respite care facilities here is just so awful. It’s time I make some decisions that can benefit my son when I’m not able to care for him one day. I’m willing to work over there and am very passionate about people on the Spectrum. Any help or Information would be very much appreciated

Thank you for your comment.
That’s really sad to hear NZ are not supporting you and your son successfully. I know how much time and energy it takes to look after someone on the spectrum.
Did you contact Autism Spectrum Australia (Aspect)?
Autism Spectrum Australia (Aspect) is Australia’s largest provider of services for people on the spectrum – https://www.aspect.org.au/how-can-we-help.
Hopefully they can point you in the right direction, because unfortunately New Zealand citizens in Australia are not eligible to get the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) until they become Australian citizens (4 years).
Please email me back with any advice/information you can share with other visitors, so I can add it to my website. It’s a subject I would love to provide more information on, as I do get asked often.
Sorry, I couldn’t be of more help.
