La Trobe University has been chosen by the Federal Government as Victorian service provider under its new national Autism Specific Early Learning and Care Centres (ASELCC) program. In partnership with the Royal Children’s Hospital, the University will receive $4 million over four years to develop an Autism Specific Early Learning and Care Centre, which will be co-located with the Community Children’s Centre on the University’s main Melbourne campus at Bundoora. The new Centre will provide 20 full-time places for children with an Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). The funds will be used to add a new wing, The Margot Prior Wing, to the existing building.
