Following a highly competitive tender process, a consortium comprising Autism Spectrum Australia (Aspect), University of Canberra, Autism South Australia and the Department of Education & Training, Western Australia was awarded a contract to deliver services for DEEWR under the Australian Government's Helping Children with Autism package. Aspect is the lead agency in the consortium.

This consortium was very thoughtfully and strategically constructed and comprises an excellent balance of expertise in autism-specific services for parents, carers, teachers and other professionals. 

The members of the Positive Partnerships teams involved in the development and presentation of the material for workshops are highly qualified teachers with specialisation in Autism.

At the end of 2009 Positive Partnerships delivered:

• 36 Professional Development workshops with each workshop conducted over four days in two phases, and
• 82 Parent/Carer workshops conducted over two days.
