Welcome to the DSWA My Voice My Health web app funded by the Department of Communities, Western Australia.

This web app aims to support better health outcomes for people with Down syndrome by providing a health resource hub to provide general information on the health considerations of people with Down syndrome and give information on relevant public health providers in WA.

Information provided is accessible to include health professionals, family members, carers and individuals with Down syndrome, with some resources available in *EASY READ* and also videos highlighted as *VISUAL RESOURCE*. 

This web app provides:

• health information resources, sourced from Australia and around the world on health topics that are more relevant to people with Down syndrome through their life stages.
• a list of public health providers, peak bodies and not for profit organisations in Western Australia which may provide support for a variety of these health conditions, and
• resources and health checklists for health professionals to consider when an individual with Down syndrome enters their specialty

Please understand the health topics covered in this web app represent a diverse range of health conditions and considerations. It is important to note that many people with Down syndrome enjoy good health and it is not expected that the conditions highlighted in this web app will apply to one person, but rather the broader community of people with Down syndrome.
