Grafton Services Australia has a long history with the US based Grafton Integrated Health Network.

Operating under licence this model enables us to accelerate market entry, ensures high-quality service delivery, and provides an additional option in the service landscape.

The operating model introduces a proven, effective behaviour support program that aligns with national priorities in disability care, restrictive practice reduction, and workforce development.

Trauma Informed Programs

This is an approach to service delivery that recognises and responds to the impact of trauma on individuals, families, and communities.

It is based on principles that prioritize safety, trust, and empowerment while avoiding re-traumatisation

Mindfulness

Mindfulness is a practice of focused awareness that encourages individuals to be fully present in the moment, fostering emotional regulation, stress reduction, and overall mental and physical well-being. As part of a wellbeing program, mindfulness helps individuals develop self-awareness, resilience, and coping strategies to manage stress, anxiety, and daily challenges effectively.

Reducing Triggers

Reducing triggers for individuals with autism involves creating environments and implementing strategies that minimize sensory, social, and environmental stimuli that can lead to stress, anxiety, or meltdowns.

Reducing triggers for individuals with autism involves a combination of environmental adjustments, effective communication, and personalized strategies.

By creating supportive and understanding environments, you can help autistic individuals navigate the world with greater comfort and confidence.

Respect Autistic Individuality

Grafton has been established as a registered charity to advance health, relieve poverty, promote education, and support the wellbeing of vulnerable and disadvantaged individuals and communities.

The organisation has a specific and expanding focus on neurodiverse individuals, Indigenous Australians, and those residing in remote or underserved regions.

In January 2025, the Australian Government released the National Autism Strategy, aiming to enhance services and supports for autistic individuals and their families.

Social Inclusion: Increasing accessible and sensory-friendly public and online spaces.​

Economic Inclusion: Supporting employers to hire and retain autistic employees.​

Diagnosis, Services, and Supports: Exploring ways to make diagnosis and assessment processes more affordable.

It is these principles that Grafton strives to meet.
