Project Officer
As a Project Officer, Robyn works across different areas including our Peer & Social Networks and alongside the Learning & Development team.
Robyn’s passion to work in the disability sector started 14 years ago when her son was diagnosed with Autism, she started as a volunteer at Autism Tasmania then began working as an employee as an Autism Advisor. During this time she ran several support groups for parents over six years.
In 2017 she took a break from Autism Tasmania and worked with the ICAN Network for six months running a mentoring program at TAFE Tasmania.
She then spent four years working as a Support Manager working to support people on the Autism Spectrum. She returned to Autism Tasmania in June 2021, bringing with her new skills and talents.
Autism Tasmania acknowledges the Australian Aboriginal people as the first inhabitants of the nation and the traditional custodians of the lands where we live, learn, and work. 
Our logo symbolises the rare native Tasmania orchid (Thelymitra or sun orchid). This fascinating plant is a significant part of the flora of Tasmania. It's flowers are blue, pink, or yellow. This logo inspires our mission. Just like the autism community, this extraordinary plant blooms "only when the conditions are right!"
