Our next New Babies Day is coming up and we are so excited!

Down Syndrome NSW warmly invites parents and carers of babies aged 0-3 years to our upcoming New Babies Day, a relaxed and welcoming event designed to connect, support and celebrate our newest community members.

This special gathering is a wonderful opportunity for families to meet others who are on a similar journey, share experiences, and build connections that can last a lifetime. Our team will be there to offer support, answer questions, and provide helpful resources in a caring, informal setting.

This session will feature Dr Anita Connell, PhD, Registered Music Therapist (#522), founder of Tuned In Connections, and Postdoctoral Research Fellow at Western Sydney University. With expertise in parent–child wellbeing, arts-for-health, and family-centred music therapy, Anita will explore the benefits of music for babies and children with Down syndrome. Families can enjoy interactive rhythm, rhyme, and song activities together.

To help make the day enjoyable for everyone, there will be supervised activities for siblings, allowing parents and carers to relax and engage in conversation. Grandparents and other family members are also welcome.

We also warmly welcome prenatal families who are expecting a baby with Down syndrome and would like to meet others and learn more about the support available.

This event is FREE for Down Syndrome NSW Members.
