Located at The John Villiers Centre of Excellence on the coastal eastern suburbs of Mackay, providing specialist autism services across the Mackay-Whitsundays region and surrounding areas for people living, learning, and working in these communities. This is a combination site that comprises our Autism Queensland (AQ) Mackay Education & Therapy Centre as well as our AQ School Mackay campus.

This location and the services delivered here have been made possible through the generous financial support of The John Villiers Trust, in partnership with the Queensland Government, to improve access to services for people living in regional Queensland.

We also serve the community with a selection of specialist supports under State and Federal government funding schemes, delivering bespoke, fully-funded programs across a variety of service areas including early childhood, education, employment, and other community supports for individuals and organisations.
