Down Syndrome Australia is the national peak organisation for people with Down syndrome in Australia.

This means bringing together and working with the other Down syndrome associations around the country.

People with Down syndrome are at the centre of all the work we do.

We work with the Down Syndrome Advisory Network (DSAN). This is a group of people with Down syndrome who give us their ideas and suggestions about our work.

We want to make sure people understand the experiences of people with Down syndrome and their families.

Our work helps the government and the community to make changes that help people with Down syndrome.

We use the United Nations Convention on the Right of Persons with Disabilities to guide us in our work. This tells us all about the rights of people with disabilities.
