Jack Williamson from our Down Syndrome Advisory Network wants to share his tip for doing well at work.

"One thing that helps me to have success with my work is that I can take feedback on something I am doing and make improvements.

When I have a speech at Fleet Plant Hire to talk to people about their insurances and certificates, sometimes I mumble my words, and they don't understand me. When they tell me they don’t understand, I think about what I have said, and I fix up my words so they can understand me better."

What’s your top tip for succeeding at work or learning something new? Share it in the comments!

DSA Board member Claire Mitchell features in the Community Conversation Guide for International Day of People with Disability - Australia (IDPwD) on 3 December!

Claire shares her thoughts on the role people with disability can play as leaders.

The Guide is designed to help start conversations about disability in your workplace, at school or university, or in your local community group. It’s a way to build understanding, respect and inclusion all year round, not just on IDPwD.

We encourage you to share it with your workplace, school or community group to help them start meaningful conversations too.

Parents and carers: Help make health services better for young people with intellectual disability!

The Kids Research Institute Australia and partner organisations are running a research project. They want to find out what helps young people stay healthy and what support families need.

If you’re a primary caregiver of a young person with intellectual disability (aged 5–30), you can take part in a survey. It takes about an hour. Everyone who takes the survey will get a $50 e-voucher as a thank you.
