WELCOME TO

Play Tech Australia

Play Tech Australia is a Social Tech Club for young Autistic and Neurodivergent people aged 9 to 20 years to develop their social skills while engaging with technology.

We provide a unique environment for children to share their interests in a wide variety of activities such as gaming together, video creation and sharing, graphic design, programming and game development.

Most importantly, our unstructured approach means we have the flexibility to follow the children’s interests and support or work with them on projects that interest them.
