Adults Group: October

- In-Person Social Night

About the Adults Group

Our Adults Group is for older members of the Autistic community and those with other similar neurodivergent profiles. It is more suitable for those who are aged 35 years and over, although younger adults are welcome to join in. (Young adults may prefer to attend our Young Adults group meetings as well as or instead of this group.)

As this is a parent/carer-free zone, we invite any parents or carers to join our separate Parents & Carers Group.

In each month where there is a fifth Thursday, the Adults Group has a social night out at a restaurant or pub.

This month, we are going to the Matthew Flinders Hotel. We will meet there for dinner at 6:30pm. You are welcome to order a meal to enjoy with the group if you would like to. We will have the opportunity for a general chat until approximately 9:30pm.

About our Group Leaders

All AV volunteer group leaders share the lived experience of their group participants and welcome new attendees. All AV group leaders have a Working with Children Check.

Cost: $5 for AV members, $10 for non-members, FREE for holders of a +Groups Membership and for first-time attendees
