The A List is a trusted national initiative by MyCareSpace that helps autistic and neurodivergent children, young people, and families connect with inclusive activities, community programs, and supports across Australia.
Built for and by neurodivergent people, The A List combines a trusted online platform with large-scale inclusive community and arts events that reduce isolation, increase participation, and create genuine belonging.
With proven experience partnering with major cultural organisations and creating accessible, neuro-inclusive experiences, The A List helps autistic and neurodivergent children, young people, and families connect with their communities through inclusive activities, events, and meaningful participation opportunities across Australia.
Meet Nicole Gamerov and Bianca Shapiro from MyCareSpace and Co-Founders of The A list.
The A List was founded by MyCareSpace partners, Bianca and Nicole, after years of supporting autistic families to find services that genuinely met their needs.
One challenge came up repeatedly: families were desperate to find inclusive social activities and community connections for autistic children and young people, but suitable options were often difficult to find or simply didn’t exist.
Recognising the growing need for better community participation pathways, MyCareSpace began working closely with the Federal Government and leading disability organisations to develop a national solution.
In partnership with the Australian Federation of Disability Organisations (AFDO), Autism Community Network (ACN), and Autism Aspergers Advocacy Australia (A4), The A List secured multiple Australian Government Information, Linkages and Capacity Building (ILC) grants, receiving approximately $2.5 million in funding to build and expand the platform.
Today, The A List continues to grow as a trusted national initiative connecting autistic and neurodivergent children, young people, and families with inclusive activities, supports, and community opportunities across Australia.
