Great News!

We are delighted to announce that we are opening our waiting list, in January 2026.

Just 12 months after our last list opening, we are ready to accept another 100 families on our autism service dog application process.

Due to excessive demand we will be again using a computer random number generator for this process. This will take place on Thursday January 15th, and the process will be overseen by an independent adjudicator. All applicants randomly selected will be contacted by email on this day.

The expression of interest form linked below must now be filled out by anyone interested in applying for our waiting list.

Please note:

- Please note this is a new form, your details will not be carried over from previous years.
- Expressions of interest are open until January 14th at 3PM. Any expression of interest made after this time will not be considered for our waiting list this year.
- Only 1 expression of interest is permitted per individual. Multiple expressions of interest will be deleted. If you have multiple children to express interest for, please submit one expression per child.
- This form must be filled in by a parent/caregiver
- Proof of diagnosis will be required by all successful expressions of interest.
- You will be required to attend an in person information session with the team in early 2026
