Can you spare a few hours to help us fundraise please? This year the Delatite Drivers Car Club target for fundraising via Horsepower In The High Country is $50k which will enable us to have an Emergency Fund, so we can immediately assist those families in crisis who do not have the financial capacity or NDIS plan to afford our lifechanging services.

Recognising our community’s need for greater access to quality specialist education, Community Bank Mansfield & District has committed a $5,000 scholarship to help a local student attend Mansfield Autism School in 2026. The specialist school based at the Therapeutic Care Farm in Mansfield currently has 28 students enrolled; some attend full time, others part time and are dual enrolled with local mainstream schools. The school provides individualised programs tailored to each child's needs, with a low student to teacher ratio.
Some of our families can't afford our school fees of $5000 per year, so we are actively seeking support for up to 14 of our local students, as part of a broader fundraising campaign. The NDIS cannot be used to fund schooling.
The scholarship adds to the bank's raft of education support for local students and shows why banking with Bendigo Bank - Community Bank can make a difference. Pictured are members of Mansfield Autism's Board & senior staff and members of Mansfield & District Community Enterprises Board.

Meet Brooke, our Lead Occupational Therapist who has worked with Mansfield Autism for over 7 years. She works alongside our Lead Speech Pathologist to develop and grow Mansfield Autism’s new Allied Health Department and has been integral in developing our independent living skills program for young adults.

Based in Melbourne and working from our Croydon office, Brooke spends about a week a month in Mansfield and is fresh off delivering our very first Early Intervention Family Camp at the Farm.
Brooke says that connecting with and empowering families is the most rewarding part of the job.
“When you see a caregiver successfully use strategies you have been working on - it is the best feeling, knowing that they can go away and improve their child’s life each and every day.”

Brooke has a Bachelor of Health Science and Master of Occupational Therapy. She has a special interest in sensory integration so is always attending courses and pursuing further professional development in this area.

She credits Mansfield Autism with helping her develop many skills but most profoundly, her years working intensively in family homes across Victoria as a MAP (Mansfield Autism Practitioner) provided invaluable insight into the realities and lived experiences of families living with autism. “This has shaped my practice, values and how I work with clients and families,” she said

Prior to working with us, Brooke worked in a graduate position in Aged Care. We are so lucky that she made the switch to work with our autistic clients and families.

A massive foodie and a travel bug, Brooke is looking forward to an upcoming road trip around South Australia with her fiancé.

Melody & Harmony are back at the farm; all spruced up ready for the warm weather. (Thanks Lee) Our beloved ponies were off site being well cared for by our team because of all the construction that was underway. But now that we are in full services swing at the farm, it was time to bring them home. Melody is our white beauty and mother of Harmony. Welcome home girls

Our new, intensive family live in stays are making the news for all the right reasons. The stays are short, targeted, immersive, family focused & uniquely positioned to fill a glaring service gap. Associated with a skill building stay, the intensive training and hands-on practice rapidly builds the capacity of the family and supports them to implement strategies.
Our families share their thoughts "Our experience at Mansfield has had a transformative effect on our family." "Finally discovering a structured, early intervention residential option felt like a lifeline."
“We believe that, with broader recognition and implementation of programs like Mansfield Autism’s ‘Intensive Family Capacity Training’, countless other families could avoid the cycle of crisis and find renewed stability, empowerment, and hope.”
