What has your experience with health services been like?
Researchers want to hear from carers of children and young adults with Down syndrome aged 5 to 30 years.
Your feedback will help improve health services and shape better tools and support for people with Down syndrome and their families.
The study involves a short online survey and takes about 1 hour.
If you’re interested in taking part, please contact: Dr Rachel Skoss – rachel.skoss@thekids.org.au
This study is being led by the Kids Research Institute Australia and partners.

Today, we’re celebrating the many talented and passionate artists in our community.
Art is a great way to express yourself, get creative and take time to relax. It can also be an excellent way to share your story.
We’d love to see more of the amazing work out there.
Give a shout out to a wonderful artist with Down syndrome by sharing a link to their website or social profile in the comments.

Emily shares what ageing well means to her. It’s a great reminder that looking after your health, staying connected and getting the right support all matter as we get older.
If you haven’t explored our Ageing Well with Down syndrome resources yet, now is a good time.
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.
