Coronavirus and you: how have you been affected?

DST as part of the Down Syndrome Australia Federation wants to hear from you about how the Coronavirus situation has affected you and your family. We want to hear about your experiences so we can tell the Government how they can provide the best support. We also want to provide you with the information and support you need during this time.

The survey takes just 5-10 minutes. You can find the survey here.
