People with Down syndrome have individual personalities, strengths, interests and skills.  Support from those who share their lives and positive attitudes of the broader community help shape the kinds of lives they can enjoy.  Down Syndrome WA is committed to enriching the lives of people with Down syndrome. 


Our Vision is that people with Down syndrome live a life of their choice and make their contribution to the community.  Underlying this are the fundamental beliefs that each person with Down syndrome has the same rights as anyone else and has a contribution to make.  Our Mission is to support people with Down syndrome to achieve their goals.


We do this by supporting people with Down syndrome, their families and the community, promoting understanding and appreciation, informing, advocating, maximising & highlighting the strengths of people with Down syndrome and providing opportunities for networking and interaction.
