How you can get involved

There are many ways that you can help provide positive futures for young people with autism and their families. Mansfield Autism is a not for profit organisation overseen by a volunteer board and is registered as a charity.

Operation Gamechanger

Our current premises have served us well, but we just do not have the room to expand to cater for the demand for our services. So we bought a 100 acre farm, on the outskirts of town, that’s big enough for us to grow. And the benefits of being out at the farm will be incredible for our clients and students.

Our masterplan for the farm, dubbed Operation Gamechanger, includes a new term therapeutic school campus, residences for students, respite and crisis care, recreational facilities, family camp, equine therapy centre, swimming pool, walking & cycling tracks and professional development training facilities.

The total cost is around $30m and we are seeking external funding from government, from donations and philanthropic trusts and then we will borrow and down the track, sell existing land and buildings to fund the balance. All up Mansfield Autism will be contributing about $8m for Operation Gamechanger so every dollar raised or donated is vital.
