Scholarship Programs
The Kids Are Kids! Therapy and Autism Diagnostic Assessment Scholarship Programs support the most vulnerable children in our community.
What is the Autism Diagnostic Assessment Scholarship Program?
Our Autism Assessment Scholarship Program supports children and families to access timely professional assessments to receive essential therapy support.
The Autism Diagnostic Assessment Scholarships are only available to families in the Perth metro region. However, families from regional areas are welcome to apply if they’re able to travel to Perth for the assessment. Kids Are Kids! cannot fund travel costs. Assessments vary in terms of complexity and differential diagnosis. Some require observation in the child’s natural environment in order to make a diagnosis which is why Perth metro is specified. If you would like to discuss an individual case, you are welcome to email info@kidsarekids.org.au.
What is the Therapy Scholarship Program?
Our Therapy Scholarships provide fully-funded tailored therapy and support plans for children and families with high therapy needs but limited or no access to any funded services.
How do I apply?
Applications are open for a short period annually each year. To be notified when applications open, subscribe to our mailing list.
How are applicants chosen?
All applicants are assessed by a panel of Kids Are Kids! management, therapists and donors who meet in person to discuss each submission.
How many Scholarships are given each year?
Scholarships are fully funded by the generosity of our valued partners and sponsors and as such, the number of scholarships available change from year to year.
Autism Diagnostic Assessment Scholarships are CLOSED.
Therapy Scholarships for 2026/27 are OPEN.
These therapy scholarships are available thanks to the wonderful generosity of the Wheeler Foundation, James Galvin Foundation, the West Australian Navy Golf Society, a private foundation and private donors.
