Our Advocacy Work

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

All our work is informed by the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities.

We work in partnership with our state and territory member organisations and the Down Syndrome Advisory Network in our advocacy work.

You can find out more about our advocacy work here.

We are working on issues that are important to people with Down syndrome and their families and communities. Our advocacy work addresses key issues like:

  • Prenatal screening
  • Health
  • NDIS
  • Education
  • Employment
  • Migration
