Hi. I'd be most grateful for any help on this.... Our family is contemplating a move to WA from UK. We have two girls. Our youngest has autism, and will be of school going age when we get there. We want her to go to a mainstream school, with support. There will be no immigration issues, as she is a citizen. I've been offered a decent job in Port Kennedy, but where we live will depend on finding the right school, where both are girls can go. I'm happy to drive for a half an hour or so to work. Help! This is one of the most important factors to consider and will determine where to or even if we manage it!

<p><p>Hi there. We have been told its highly unlikely that a child with autism will be granted a permanent visa for Australia. Its all down to how much each child will cost the government in therapy, school support etc. Your situation sounds different if one of you already is a citizen. I am hoping my daughter will continue to improve over the next few years and currently we have the luxery of having a few years on our side beofre we hit the age deadline to apply for skilled. I am going to research as much as I can regarding schools etc so I know whats on offer in advance. Where are you aiming for? We hope for Perth where I have family already settled.

We are a family with a young autistic daughter also planning to move to WA in the near future. We've only found this website today and would be grateful if you could share any info that you may come across - especially schools, home based ABA etc. Luckily, we don't need to worry about visas as her mum is Australian and she already has citizenship. Who is George Lombard by the way?
