In case you missed it! Watch the 7.30 story to meet Emily Porter, one of DSA’s 10 Health Ambassadors.
The Health Ambassador Program plays a vital role in educating health professionals about how to meaningfully include people with Down syndrome in their own health conversations.
Our CEO Darryl Steff said: “One of the most powerful things about this program is that it does centre the person with intellectual disability as part of the solution. They are the expert in this space.”

Look what's possible when people with Down syndrome are given opportunities to learn, lead and be included.
In 2024, Annalise from Hobart received a scholarship to take on a leadership role at the World Down Syndrome Congress in Brisbane.
Since then, she has found a job she loves, is living independently and is achieving other big life goals.
In this video, Annalise shares her journey and what she has achieved since.
Her story is a fantastic reminder of what can happen when people with Down syndrome are given opportunities to build confidence, develop skills and reach their potential.
Watch Annalise's story and share it with your community.
We'd love to hear from families and supporters. What opportunities have helped your family member grow in confidence, skills or independence?
