REGISTRATION ESSENTIAL

Please join Down Syndrome NSW for a relaxed and welcoming lunch designed especially for parents and carers of babies, toddlers, and preschool-aged children with Down syndrome.
This informal get-together is a wonderful opportunity to connect with other families, share experiences, and build supportive friendships within the community.

The event will be hosted by Melissa Cotterill, our Congratulations Initiative Manager, who has supported hundreds of families across NSW through their early journeys with Down syndrome. Melissa will be available for friendly chats, to answer questions, and to share information about how Down Syndrome NSW can continue to support your family.

Children are warmly welcomed, we’ll have fun activities and toys set up to keep little ones entertained while parents and carers enjoy lunch and conversation.
