Be social your way

What is The A List?

The A List is an initiative developed by MyCareSpace, created in response to a challenge the team saw every day: families struggling to find genuinely inclusive, autism-friendly social activities and supports for their children.

What began as a grassroots solution has grown into a nationally recognised platform, developed in collaboration with the Federal Government, leading disability peak bodies, and the neurodivergent community itself. Supported by more than $2.5 million in federal funding, The A List has helped connect autistic and neurodivergent children, young people, and families with inclusive opportunities across Australia.

Built both for and by neurodivergent people, The A List combines a nationwide online directory of autism-friendly activities, programs, and support services with large-scale inclusive arts and culture experiences through the Create Space Project.

These events partnered with major cultural institutions to create welcoming environments where autistic children, young people, and their families could participate in community life in ways that felt safe, accessible, and empowering.

What is Next for The A List?

Through its strong community partnerships, lived-experience leadership, and proven track record of increasing participation and belonging, The A List is well positioned to continue working alongside government, community organisations, and the disability sector to improve access to inclusive social and community participation opportunities for autistic children, young people, and families across Australia.
