What support, programs or opportunities would help most in your life?

We want to hear from people with Down syndrome, families and support people about what is needed most in our community.

Down Syndrome Australia is applying for Government funding for future programs and supports. We want to make sure this work reflects what people with Down syndrome and families need most.

We have 2 short surveys:

– a survey for people with Down syndrome
– a survey for families, carers and support people

The surveys are anonymous and close at the end of May.

Survey for people with Down syndrome: https://buff.ly/ycySuv3

Survey for family members and support people: https://buff.ly/M27Macy

Thank you for sharing your experiences and ideas with us!

Emergencies can happen anytime – and NDIS participants are disproportionately at risk without careful planning from providers.

The emergency management provider alert helps providers:

✅ Plan and account for participants’ individual needs in emergencies
✅ Train and prepare staff for confident and effective responses
✅ Keep critical supports and services running, even during disruptions

It also includes plan templates, checklists for various emergency scenarios, and guidance on including participants in planning.

Online tickets to this year's Family Fun Day are closing at midday tomorrow, Thursday 19 March.

But never fear, if you don't get your tickets online, you will still be able to purchase them at the zoo on the day of the event. Just visit us at the DSV registration marque next to the zoo's main entrance.

🦋 After coming along last year, Daniel from Tranagulla told us, “I felt honoured to be a part of the day and meeting other people with Down syndrome, which I don’t get to do much."

🦋 This year we will also be trying something new at Family Fun Day. We often get feedback about how important community is and how these events are a great way to meet other families. So, this year we are going to offer an extra way to get to know other each other with some welcoming guided (and optional) connection activities.

You never know, your next coffee catch-up or your child's new favourite buddy might be there too!

🦋 If you want to snap up your tickets online before bookings close, visit
