Presenters

Matt O’Neil

Matt is passionate about his community and raising awareness about Down syndrome. He is very excited to be the Chair of the Down Syndrome Advisory Network Victoria (DSANVic).

Matt said, “Community participation is important because you get to meet people. You get included. Once I’m out in the community there are lots of nice people out there. However, you also need to learn how to stay safe in the community. If I’m just walking outside I see other people and they can see this person has an Intellectual Disability and we get more respect for each other,” he said.

Zoe Shearer

Zoe Shearer is the Health Project Manager at Down Syndrome Victoria. She has worked delivering project and training in the non-profit sector for the last 16 years. Zoe is passionate about working with people to bring about real change and improving outcomes for people with disability and those that support them.

For Zoe, community participation is really important because it helps with my mental health and helps me make friends.
