Going to School

The NSW Government, VIC Government and the South Australian Government have announced stay-at-home orders for residents in those states in response to a rising number of COVID-19 cases. Aspect services and schools in those states are affected.

• Aspect Central Coast, Macarthur, South Coast, South East Sydney, Vern Barnett and Western Sydney Schools, as well as their associated satellite classes that are located in areas where stay-at-home orders apply, are employing learning from home for the duration of the lockdown period.
• Aspect Treetop School in South Australia will move to online learning from Thursday 22 July 2021.
• Aspect Hunter and Riverina Schools are not impacted.

Please contact your School directly if you need to discuss how we can best support you, or you can contact us on 1800 277 328.

The Federal Government has established a COVID-19 hotline which is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to answer any additional questions you may have – 1800 022 222.

Our first school opened in Belrose in 1966. We now operate eight schools in NSW. In 2016, our 9th school and the first school in South Australia was established.

Aspect schools offer a dynamic, individualised learning experience for students on the autism spectrum. As leaders in education for students on the spectrum, Aspect provides the only autism-specific schooling experience in Australia.

We have nine independent schools across Australia and 113 satellite classes based in mainstream Primary and High school settings. We educate around 1185 children on the spectrum in our schools every year aged from 4 years to 17 years.

Our learning environments are tailored to the individual needs of students through evidence-informed practice. Class sizes are small with a high teacher to student ratio. All classes include a teacher and teacher aide. Another Australian first for Aspect is our distance education program for students on the spectrum. This program allows students to learn from home by connecting them to teacher via a range of digital learning tools.
