Positive Partnerships Program Phase 5

The Department of Education is seeking a national provider to coordinate, manage and deliver Phase 5 of the Positive Partnerships program from July 2026 to June 2029, with the possibility of extension. The overarching objective of the program is to support parents, carers, teachers and other school staff to build effective partnerships to improve the learning and wellbeing experiences and outcomes of school-aged Autistic students. It does this by providing professional learning for teachers and other school staff, and resources through workshops, webinars and online modules for parents and carers. There is also a dedicated program website with online learning services and digital resources to build program participants' knowledge and skills around autism.

Phase 5 of the program will focus on continuous improvement and innovation to enhance the experiences of participants and whole school communities, as well as increasing access and reach for priority cohorts, including First Nations and Culturally and Linguistically Diverse (CALD) communities.
