What is HCWA?
HCWA, or Helping Children with Autism, is an Australian government program that provides financial aid for early intervention therapies for children aged 0-6 diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder.
How does HCWA help kids with special needs?
HCWA supports kids with Autism Spectrum Disorder by funding crucial early intervention therapies, such as speech and occupational therapy, enhancing their communication, interaction, and learning skills.
How much financial aid does HCWA provide?
HCWA provides up to AUD$12,000 for eligible families to cover various therapeutic interventions for their children diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder.
How can a family access HCWA?
To access HCWA, a child must be diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder by a qualified professional, and then the family needs to obtain a referral from an Autism Advisor before the child’s 6th birthday.
The Helping Children with Autism (HCWA) package is an Australian government initiative, introduced in 2008, that provides financial aid for early intervention therapies for children aged 0-6 diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Once approved, beneficiaries can access this support, up to AUD$12,000, until the child’s 7th birthday.
