Autism Spectrum Australia (Aspect)

Difficult to park so stay out on Aquatic Drive and walk in.

Last week I noticed that (in the reviews of their Facebook page) someone mentioned the ABC report on a boy who had apparently been locked up in a cage in one of their schools. The day after, or maybe two days after that, (again in the reviews) someone was outraged that a mother who had expressed her concerns had been called a troll by their staff. I didn't visit their Facebook page for a couple of days and when I went back to it the reviews had been disabled and there was a new link to House Rules". While I cannot comment on what might have happened in my absence of a couple of days (I suppose the complaints got worse?)

helps children well with a severe or not so severe intellectual disability

Reposting this review I left a couple of years ago because ASPECT appear to have deleted it:I had two employment mentors with this program. The first, I met with him twice and then he emailed to say that he was no longer going to work for Aspect. So my dad rang Aspect multiple times to try and arrange a new mentor and they never got back to us. Months passed and I got a call out of the blue from a woman who was a new mentor working for Aspect and we arranged to meet. I thought she seemed like a very good prospective mentor after meeting with her once and we arranged a second meeting, which she cancelled at 11:19pm via email the night before (a Sunday night) so I had to cancel my rideshare I had prebooked (inconveniencing my driver as well). The mentor cancelled because she had a meeting with her manager that she was going to - surely she knew about this meeting prior to 11pm on Sunday night? And what if I hadn’t checked my email before the session?Several days went by with no contact from this mentor and I just knew that she, like the first mentor, was going to drop me - and I got a call from Aspect confirming that about 3 days later.I would not recommend Aspect’s employment mentoring program. It is extremely inconsiderate to treat anyone like this but especially autistic people like myself. If you are thinking about doing mentoring with Aspect I’d suggest that you reconsider.

Great organisation

I've been an Aspect employee for around 3 years now and I must say it is the best employer I've ever had. I really love the workplace culture and I feel privileged to be working with skilled and dedicated professionals. I witness every day all the efforts made by Aspect staff to respectfully support autistic clients and their families. Before joining Aspect, I worked for a year for a well known disability services provider in Allambie Heights and all the management was caring about were market shares and $$. I never looked back!

Finally a comprehensive resource

Lovely staff, very friendly and helpful

Absolutely disgusting services. We waited 2 years for therapy support only to be DUMPED by their restructure of staff and told to go elsewhere...DON'T BOTHER WITH ASPECT THEY DO NOT PROVIDE WHAT THEY SAY THEY DO.
