The Centre for Autism Spectrum Disorder (CASD) exists as a result of great demand for evidence-based and specialised treatment programs in the Gold Coast autism community.

CASD is a multidisciplinary research and education facility dedicated to assisting people on the autism spectrum as well as their families, caregivers, educators and other professionals involved in their support.

CASD has a commitment to supporting the autism community through dissemination of research findings and provision of professional education initiatives. The Centre has close links with international researchers with strong track records in autism research and best-practice treatment methods.

We proudly support local, State, National and International bodies involved in providing services to people with an autism disorder and increasing awareness of autism in the general community.
