Down Syndrome Victoria is Victoria’s peak organisation representing people with Down syndrome and their families. We are a community based, not-for-profit membership association. We have a proud history of supporting individuals, families, and the community since 1978.
We work alongside people with Down syndrome and their families so they may reach their full potential and live the lives they choose. We provide parents, families, professionals, and friends of people with Down syndrome with support, encouragement, information, opportunities and resources. This includes prenatal support and information to expectant parents and health professionals.
DSV advocates with and for people with Down syndrome to have access to the same opportunities, supports and community activities as other Victorians based on a human rights approach, and consistent with the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. We want to live in a society where people living with Down syndrome are valued, reach their full potential, and enjoy social and economic inclusion.
Together, we can and will create this inclusive community.
The MyTime program is an initiative funded by the Australian Government Department of Social Services (DSS) and coordinated nationally by the Parenting Resource Centre (PRC).

Down Syndrome Victoria works in partnership with Parenting Resource Centre to deliver the Victorian MyTime program.
