The Down Syndrome Federation is committed to ensuring that all of the work that we do is informed by people with Down syndrome. We talk with people with Down syndrome and listen to what they think is important and what they want to change.
One of the ways we do this is through the Down Syndrome Advisory Network (DSAN). DSAN is a group of people with Down syndrome chosen to work together to provide direct advice to the Down Syndrome Australia Board.
DSAN members get involved in advocating for change in lots of different ways. They speak at conferences, get involved in government campaigns, and speak to health professionals.
Down Syndrome Australia is always looking for people with Down syndrome to become members of its advisory network. Each advisory network member receives individual support to take part.
