Living on the Spectrum – now powered by Amaze
Posted on
At Amaze, we’re working towards a stronger, more connected future for autism support in Australia and speaking up for better access and inclusion.
You may already be part of the Living on the Spectrum community, Australia’s free national directory of autism-specific services and supports. For years, Living on the Spectrum has helped Autistic and neurodivergent people, families and supporters find trusted services, programs and events across Australia.
Now, with Living on the Spectrum part of Amaze, the directory is starting a new chapter that strengthens its community roots and ensures its long-term growth and accessibility.
What this means for you
With strong community connections right across Australia, the directory will stay free and independent, and your listings and subscriptions won’t change. You’ll still find the same clear categories and easy-to-use layout.
Living on the Spectrum’s vision and goals will also stay the same. With Amaze’s national reach and lived-experience expertise, we’re making it even easier for Autistic people and families to:
- find autism services and supports when and where they’re needed
- connect with community networks through Amaze’s partnerships and advocacy
- access accurate, inclusive information to make confident choices.
This partnership also means the platform can help highlight service gaps and drive better systems change across Australia.
Continuing a shared vision
Founder Anita Aherne has long championed inclusion, self-acceptance and mental health within the Autistic and neurodivergent community. ‘Living on the Spectrum has always been a source of free and accessible information, news and inclusive resources,’ says Anita. ‘This partnership expands that reach to help even more people in this space.’
Amaze CEO David Tonge adds: ‘We’re proud to continue Anita’s vision and ensure Living on the Spectrum remains free, accessible and community-led. Together, we’re creating stronger pathways for Autistic people to find the right support and to thrive.’
