International Day of Older Persons
Today, we recognise the role older people play in our communities and highlight the importance of supporting people as they age.
Ageing well means having the right health care, support and opportunities to stay active and connected.
We’ve developed a practical guide to ageing well with Down syndrome. It is designed to help people with Down syndrome, families and supporters plan for the future and live well as they grow older.

Down Syndrome Awareness Month starts tomorrow!
It’s a month to celebrate people with Down syndrome, raise awareness and challenge outdated stereotypes. Throughout October, we’ll be sharing stories and highlights from across Australia.
In the meantime, take a look back at the special video we created for last year’s Awareness Month: Down Syndrome – Let’s Set the Record Straight!
Please share it with your community to help us raise awareness.

Parents, carers and family members – if you haven’t completed our Education Survey yet, there’s still time. It only takes about 10 minutes and you can stay anonymous if you prefer.
We’ve been overwhelmed by the responses so far – thank you to everyone who has already taken part. Your input is invaluable and will shape how we advocate for better education outcomes for people with Down syndrome.
This is the first survey of its kind we’ve run in 7 years, so your voice really counts.
