People often contact our service to better understand their screening results. We can offer information and support through this process, as you explore what raising a child with Down syndrome may mean for you and your family. We can also assist you with understanding more about a diagnosis of Down syndrome and provide information on options available if you are undecided about continuing with the pregnancy.
Down Syndrome Queensland believes that families have the right to feel supported in their choices no matter which path they choose. We aim to provide balanced, evidence-based information so that people can feel empowered to move forward.

As the peak body for people living with Down syndrome and their support networks in Queensland, we offer balanced, current and evidence-based information and support.
This is a Queensland-wide professionally-delivered service, with support offered flexibly (phone, email, Zoom, in-person where location allows). The support service is also available for any healthcare professional, community service, carer or family members supporting someone who has received unexpected news about their pregnancy.
Alongside this information we can facilitate – if desired – the opportunity to connect with people with Down syndrome, and / or parents and families for perspectives on lived experience.
