Australia will soon host one of the world’s largest Autism conferences with more than 1,400 delegates and speakers from 30 countries registered to attend in Perth in November.
The Asia Pacific Autism Conference 2025 (APAC 2025) will welcome to Australia a diverse group of individuals from Asia, Africa, Europe, Canada and the Middle East, including academics, medical professionals, teachers, community leaders, Autistic people and their families.
The Autism Association of Western Australia is hosting the conference and CEO, Joan McKenna Kerr AM, said it was a great opportunity for Australia to host such a globally significant event.
“This is about having a global conversation that deepens society’s understanding of Autism and looks to the future,” Ms McKenna Kerr said. “We have attendees from all backgrounds discussing latest research, sharing their lived experiences, and championing more inclusive, supportive societies for the millions who live with Autism every day.
