Thanks to a generous donation from Carer Gateway, this Bendigo Teens event is FREE to attend! This is an incredible opportunity to connect, have fun, and be part of our supportive community at no cost. Important Note: Carer Gateway is covering the entry cost, but attendees will still need to pay for their own meals.
Our Bendigo Teens Autism Event provides a safe and supported space for Autistic teens (ages 13–18) and their families to connect and thrive. Meet like-minded individuals during an engaging evening tailored for, by, and with the Autistic community.
At this event, you can look forward to various activities such as board games, crafts and a Kahoot Quiz (BYO device) and a raffle ticket upon arrival. Parents, carers and support workers are warmly encouraged to relax and socialise in our welcoming and inclusive environment.
All attendees under 18 must be supervised at all times by a parent, carer, support worker or responsible adult as we do not provide 1:1 support. Tickets are required for all attendees including parents, carers and support workers, and may be claimable under the NDIS if applicable. Meals and drinks are available for purchase at the venue at your own expense.
