Down Syndrome NSW Presents: Congratulations Initiative - 2025 May New Babies Day

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

Event Details:

📅 Saturday, 17 May 2025

🕦 11:00 AM – 2:00 PM (Lunch Included)

📍 Australian National Maritime Museum, 2 Murray Street, Darling Harbour, Sydney NSW 2000

 💠“Learn Through Play”. A fun event for babies and their siblings to explore, and an opportunity for parents/carers to connect with other families.

Down Syndrome NSW warmly invites parents and carers of babies aged 0–2 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.

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. Light refreshments will be provided.

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. 

Book in now for this interactive and informal event which includes lunch.
