About Mansfield Autism
Mansfield Autism Statewide Services has over 50 years’ experience in providing services for families living with autism and a remarkable track record of excellence.
Founded by Dr. Joan Curtis, Mansfield Autism was established to address the lack of services available in rural Victoria, driven by a belief that - "the child’s family are their most important teachers, and we aim to give them the understanding, the confidence and the determination necessary for the successful parenting of their child – that is our goal, and nothing less is enough."
