My Turf Autism Programs Wins Rockstar Rookie Award!

The momentum behind Toc H South Australia’s revitalisation has reached an exciting new milestone! Over the past two days, Beck and Adam represented Toc H SA at the Source Kids Expo, an event that brings together the leading voices in disability support, assistive technology, education, and employment pathways for children, youth, and young adults. This is Australia’s largest and most influential expo in the sector, and we are beyond proud to share that My Turf Autism Programs has been officially recognised with the 2025 Rockstar Rookie Award!

What is the Rockstar Rookie Award?

This prestigious award is not about being new in the sense of inexperience—it’s about making an immediate and powerful impact. The judging panel, made up of industry experts, recognised My Turf Autism Programs for entering the sector with a bold vision, strong community engagement, and a program offering that is already making a real difference.

The award celebrates:
✅ Our bold, contemporary branding, designed to connect with young people and their families.
✅ Our innovative approach to community engagement, ensuring we reach those who need our programs most.
✅ The real-world impact of our work, addressing critical gaps in support and skill development for neurodivergent and autistic individuals.

This wasn’t just a participation trophy—this was a panel assessing our program against the very best and determining that My Turf Autism Programs is setting a new standard in the field.

A Defining Moment for Toc H South Australia

While this award is a huge achievement for My Turf Autism Programs, it’s even bigger for Toc H South Australia. For several years now, we have been working to redevelop relevant, impactful, and innovative programs that meet the needs of today’s community. This recognition at Source Kids Expo is the direct result of our renewed focus on strengthening and modernising Toc H SA—ensuring that we remain a leader in community service for years to come.

And the numbers speak for themselves. Over just two days, we spoke to hundreds of people obtaining program-specific registrations and expressions of interest. This response has been nothing short of mind-blowing—a powerful indicator that families, educators, and professionals are searching for real, practical solutions and Toc H SA is stepping up to deliver them.

This success confirms that Toc H South Australia is leading the way in an area of community service that is significantly underrepresented. The demand for our programs is there, and our ability to connect, engage, and make a difference is being recognised at a national level.

The Next Chapter: Strengthening the Toc H Brand

This is only the beginning. We are excited to share that we are currently developing a brand-new branding suite for Toc H South Australia—one that will position us strongly in the community for many years to come. Our future branding will reflect our history, our values, and our commitment to contemporary, community-led programs that truly make a difference.

And here’s what’s even more exciting: Next year, when we return to the Source Kids Expo, Toc H South Australia’s branding will stand proudly alongside My Turf Autism Programs, reflecting the reality that these programs are being built and delivered by Toc H SA. This is a turning point—a

chance for Toc H to be recognised as an organisation that is modern, relevant, and truly making an impact.

This achievement is something that every Toc H SA member, volunteer, and supporter should be proud of. Our vision for a strong, progressive, and future-focused Toc H is being realised, and this award is just the beginning.

A massive shoutout to Dave, our Brand and Image Creator!
