Autism CRC is now the Sylvia Rodger Institute.


11th August 2026

We’re excited to share an important update with you.

Autism CRC is now the Sylvia Rodger Institute.

Alongside our new name, we are launching a new website designed to make it easier to access the resources, research and evidence-based guidance you rely on.

Resources on the Autism CRC website will continue to be available at least until the end of 2026 while we progressively move resources to our new online home.

If you are a registered user of the Best Practice Portal your login and password details will not change. In time the web address for this site will change, but we will contact you when this happens.

We also want to share a change in our leadership team. After 12 years of dedicated leadership, our CEO Andrew Davis has elected to move on from full-time executive roles to focus on supporting the sector through Board and other non-executive positions. We thank Andrew for his commitment, strategic mindset and diplomacy, all key to establishing and growing Autism CRC into an internationally recognised leader in autism research and translation. Cheryl Mangan, Autism CRC’s Chief Innovation Officer, has been appointed Managing Director and will lead the organisation’s next phase, building on this legacy and expanding our impact.

While some things are changing, much remains the same. Our commitment to translating research into practical guidance and resources, strengthening capability, and working collaboratively with partners across Australia and beyond remains unchanged.

We have created a list of Frequently Asked Questions to answer questions you may have.

Thank you for your ongoing support. We look forward to continuing our vision of equity and opportunity for autistic people as the Sylvia Rodger Institute.
