About Voice

In focus: Our Learn and Lead Group

The Learn and Lead Group brings together people with intellectual disability from across Australia.

It’s about building confidence, skills and leadership. It’s also about making sure lived experience shapes health care.

Members work alongside the National Centre of Excellence in Intellectual Disability Health
They share advice on strategy, events and resources. This helps improve health care and how people think about intellectual disability.

Members also build advocacy skills. They gain confidence in teamwork and public speaking.

Information for Life helps people with Down syndrome, their families and the wider community find clear and reliable information.

It brings together national resources on topics that matter. Things like health, education, work, rights, the NDIS and social connections.

The information is reviewed and shaped by people with Down syndrome, families and experts from across Australia. That helps make sure it’s practical, up to date and useful in everyday life.

Information for Life also supports local delivery through State and Territory organisations, so people can get the right support in the right place.
