Women's & Non-Binary Term 3 Pilot Group
Expression of Interest

If you are a woman (cis and trans) or non-binary person aged 18 or older and you're interested in joining a pilot Dungeons & Dragons group in Term 3, we want to hear from you!

AV's Dungeons & Dragons program is one of AV's most popular programs, and the AV team are looking for ways to make the program more inclusive for people of all genders. We are planning to run a pilot D&D group for women (cis and trans) and non-binary folk in Term 3 of 2022. The Dungeon Master for this group will also be a woman, and we would like to know if there is enough interest in our community for this group to go ahead.

Group details

• Open to women (cis and trans) and non-binary individuals only
• Players must be aged 18 or older
• All levels of D&D skill are welcome, including beginners and those who haven't played D&D before. The group level will default to beginner or the least experienced in the group.
• The session day and time is yet to be determined and will depend on player and DM availability. Sessions will be weekly in Term 3
• The price will be similar to current AV D&D programs.
• Details will be available in early June.
• The group must have at least four players to run, and the maximum group size is six.
• This Expression of Interest is open to members and non-members, but you will need to be a current AV member to register for the group itself when registrations open.

If you are interested in being contacted about this group for Term 3, please click "Register" to go to the registration form and add your name to the expression of interest list.

Who can I contact if I have questions?

Many of the questions we receive about our D&D program are similar, so we have put together an AV D&D FAQ document to help players and families to find answers quickly.

For more information

If you have further questions or feedback about this activity, please contact our AV admin team.

Adults Hub: in-person meeting

Social Night & Barbecue

About the Adults Group

Our Adults Group is for older members of the Aspergers 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.

This month, we are having a social night at Power Neighbourhood House, with a barbecue. After the barbecue, we will be having an "interests and hobbies discussion", and we invite group attendees to bring something to show or discuss with the group related to an interest or hobby.

We will run the barbecue from approximately 6:30pm until 8pm, then we will chat about our groups' various interests and hobbies until approximately 9:30pm.

Adults Hub: In-Person meeting

About the Adults Group

Our Adults Group is for older members of the Aspergers 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.

About our Group Leaders

This session is facilitated by the Adults Group Leader, Colin. 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: $10 for AV members, $15 for non-members, FREE for holders of a +Groups Membership.

Become an AV member today to access discounted tickets for groups and events, members-only programs, and to support the work our volunteers and staff team do for our community.
