Thank you to everyone who was part of our World Down Syndrome Day Breakfast at Parliament House in Canberra yesterday. 

It was wonderful to have our self-advocates and support people, MPs, Ministers and team come together in celebration.

Thank you DSA for all you do, especially in uplifting and amplifying the voices of people with Down Syndrome on days like today. Happy WDSD. 💙💛

♥️thank you so much 💕

🎉 What an exciting day! Were here in Canberra for an important World Down Syndrome Day event.

We just enjoyed a fantastic breakfast at Parliament House, surrounded by our self-advocates, staff, MPs and Ministers.

We celebrated the progress weve made in embracing people with Down syndrome in our families, schools, workplaces and even in Parliament. But we also discussed the important work ahead to ensure everyone feels like they truly belong.

Later today, some of our self-advocates will sit down with Ministers to discuss key issues like the NDIS, health, jobs and education.

Keep an eye out for updates and highlights from the event!
