Autistic Women’s Group

The Kidd Clinic is hosting a five-part in person group for clinically diagnosed, or self-identified, Autistic women over the age of 18. In our therapeutic work, we have noticed there are common areas in which autistic people are seeking support and guidance. We are passionate about providing a safe group space where people can learn from and support others with shared lived experience, and build connections and a sense of community. The sessions will include presentation by facilitators followed by facilitated discussion.

Dates & Times

The 5 sessions will run from 9.30am - 11am on:

  • Saturday 15th February (Autistic Identity)

  • Saturday 1st March (Masking)

  • Saturday 15th March (Social connection)

  • Saturday 29th March (Boundaries)

  • Saturday 12th April (Self-care and compassion)

Cost

The cost is $850, this cost covers all 5 sessions of this group, this cost will need to be paid, even if you cannot make it on the day.

If you have NDIS funding, you will need to chat to your LAC or plan manager to ask if the group will be covered by your funding, everyone’s plan is different. We are not NDIA registered. 

If you are plan-managed and would like to pay after the date of the group, you will need to obtain confirmation of available funds from your plan manager, and send it through to us prior to the start of the group.

Cancellations

Due to the planning and resources needed to run groups, we require 7 business days notice if your circumstances change. Cancellations can affect the viability of the group, and they may not be able to run without the right number of attendees. If you cancel within 7 business days we will charge a cancellation fee (equal to the full cost of the group).
