We create an inclusive workplace for neurodiverse young adults to undertake professional spatial data services. Since 2020, ASA has provided careers in the Geospatial and Engineering professions for over 220 young neurodiverse adults who may otherwise be unemployed. Our team use their unique cognitive talents, such as attention to detail, pattern recognition and memory retention, to deliver image analysis, data cleansing and processing for multiple industries, including telecommunications, energy, conservation, travel and resources. ASA helps solve Australia’s skills shortages and data sovereignty concerns by accessing an untapped pool of talented and motivated people who perform essential work that otherwise occurs offshore. We consistently deliver professional, award-winning, high-quality data services for real-world projects, specialising in Geographic Information Systems (GIS), Survey, Computer Aided Design (CAD), Building Information Modelling (BIM) and Machine Learning technologies. To date, ASA has provided over $12 million worth of projects. We do this while creating enduring social impact for young neurodivergent people, including autistic Australians facing a 34% unemployment rate by providing stable and meaningful employment—reducing their dependence on government funding. Our team is 80% neurodivergent. We are committed to creating a workplace where everyone feels valued so they can reach their full potential. We take a human-centred approach, understanding and leveraging each individual’s strengths, interests and needs. Our goal is to upskill our people and provide careers within ASA and externally, including transitioning them to our partner clients, enabling their teams to harness neurodiverse strengths through support and training. At ASA, we use data to employ diversity. Neuro(diversity) is our competitive advantage.
