In 1967, a group of parents who were struggling to find autism resources set up the Victorian Autistic Children’s Association (VACA). It provided a central information source and supported autistic individuals and their families. The organisation was renamed Autism Victoria Inc in 1995 and again renamed Amaze in 2011.
Amaze builds autism understanding in the community, influences policy change for Autistic people and their families/supporters, and provides independent, credible information and resources to individuals, families, professionals, government and the wider community.
Traditional Owners
Amaze acknowledges the traditional owners of the land where we work, the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin nation, and pays respects to elders past, present and emerging.
