Parent seminars in Bunbury, Albany and Geraldton June-July 2009

As a result of successful grant applications to the Australian Government – NGCS (non-government centre support) funding is available for Down Syndrome WA presenters to conduct a series of seminars in Bunbury, Albany, and Geraldton.

These seminars are aimed at parents but seminars will also be held for respite/support workers, child care staff, teachers and assistants. 

It would be great if members in these areas could check that their school, childcare or respite organisation has details of these events.

Registrations need to be made by completing a registration form.  You can download pdf versions of the forms which can be found elsewhere on this page.  Alternatively, a form can be emailed or posted to you when you contact Down Syndrome WA.
