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.
