Alpine Valleys Autism Community (AVAC) is a lived-experience led organisation supporting Autistic people and Carers of Autistic people across the Alpine Shire in North East Victoria.
Founded in 2024 by local residents who are late-identified autistic, and carers to young autistic people, we create safe, welcoming spaces for connection, learning, and mutual support.
We embrace and celebrate autism as a natural part of human diversity, and our work is guided by neurodiversity-affirming principles that focus on genuine acceptance and understanding.
