With the right support, people with Down syndrome can continue to live well as they get older.
Our Ageing Well with Down Syndrome resources are here to help.
The resources cover:
• Keeping my body healthy
• Dementia
• Anxiety and depression
• Grief and loss
• Perimenopause and menopause
Each resource is easy to understand and follow. They can help you notice changes early and get support sooner.

A big thank you to nib foundation, our partner in this project, for helping make these resources possible.

Congratulations to our new Digital Champions, who are already out there sharing online safety skills with the community.
Adam recently presented to the WA Ministerial Advisory, Disability Services Commission Board, and senior leaders at the Department of Communities (Office for Disability). He did brilliantly, and we received great feedback on the design and inclusiveness of the presentation.
Adam also took great delight in teaching government leaders how to create strong passwords. Their IT person was very happy about that!
Caitlin also delivered her first Digital Champions presentation and absolutely nailed it. We loved receiving this feedback from an attendee:
“A huge thank you for organising this afternoon’s presentation about online safety. Caitlin did an amazing job. The team all agreed it was a timely reminder to be more aware of potential scams.”
It’s fantastic to see our Digital Champions already making an impact.
To invite a Digital Champion to speak at your organisation, contact Clare Gibellini, Program Lead: clare.gibellini@downsyndrome.org.au or 1300 344 954
