Our Federation

The Down Syndrome Australia Federation is made up of state and territory associations providing support, information and resources to people with Down syndrome and their families across the country. People with Down syndrome are at the centre of all of the work that we do.

Our collective purpose is leading change through the power of people with Down syndrome and the community.

About our work

Down Syndrome Australia and the associations have come together to represent and progress the needs, interests and aspirations of people with Down syndrome and those that support them.

Membership of your state or territory Association links you in with the latest information and resources – and especially the vibrant community of people with Down syndrome, their families and supporters.
