Executive Officer’s Report

The past year has been an exciting one in many ways for Down Syndrome WA.

Now that WA is a part of the federal model of NDIS, we have clarity in the way forward and

have been busy with many NDIS related activities. During 2017 we worked hard going

through state and federal processes to become registered provider. I want to extend a

sincere thanks to the team at DSWA for their wonderful work and contributions, we could

not provide the services we deliver without their amazing support and dedication. Julie

Ireland and Jackie Softly have been working hard behind the scenes to ensure our success in

gaining Information, Linkages and Capacity Building (ILC) project funding. We’ve been

successful with a number of these grants for projects that are a very important part of the

bigger NDIS picture.

We have been rolling out information sessions about the NDIS and becoming well informed

prior to your NDIS planning meeting. The DSWA team has also produced a range of

resources to help you with the NDIS and we are adding to these regularly. You can

download them all from the Information section of our website. Please also ensure you are

on our email list to keep up to date with information and resources in our regular eNews.

Employment has been a big focus over the last year, and our work in this area has been

about collaboration, building and forging partnerships to create a wrap-around approach to

assist people into open employment. We conducted a number of lobbying meetings with

Minister Sue Ellery, Minister Stephen Dawson, and the Department of Training and

Workforce Development.

Partnerships have been forged with the WA Training Council to produce a traineeship Cert 2

in Customer Engagement. We are working with a number of DES providers and are also

working with a registered Training Organisation to provide training as part of the

traineeship.

We have established contacts of interest with many local businesses and industries across

the open employment market. We are also encouraging local government to take on

trainees who are leaving school, have left school and if in an ADE will have the choice to

transition into open employment with supports.

We have been getting a great response from the “Together we can” series of events for

families conducted quarterly with guest speakers on a range of topics.

You may be aware that we send out a survey regarding the Butterfly Ball and thank you for

all your comments. It has been decided to give the Ball a break and we have negotiated to

conduct a Butterfly Gala Dinner for families at a reasonable and affordable rate. Fundraising

will be a separate event.

Page 6

www.downsyndromewa.org.au

We are in discussions with our sponsors Rapid Crushing to have the dinner at The Point,

where we will celebrate people’s achievements, share good news stories and have a fun

night. It will not be till about next Sept or Oct 2019 so keep in tune with our progress on

eNews.

We are looking forward to establishing an Ambassador program under one of our ILC grants.

We will begin recruiting early next year, so start thinking about people with Down syndrome

who may be interested.

I would like to thank all the Board members and families who give of their time and

expertise freely. I rely heavily on that expertise and have been guided hopefully in ways that

align with the values of DSWA. Providing services that give people control and choice is key

to our role in the NDIS, so become well informed before your planning day, contact the

office for assistance and attend our workshops on NDIS planning.

Looking forward to another exciting year as we all work together to achieve positive

outcomes for Western Australians with Down syndrome and their families.

Treasurer’s Report

2017/18 was a busy year for DSWA with significant expansion to our services, particularly those aimed at supporting children with Down syndrome – a major one being the FrienDS for Life social group for high school aged children. We sought to subsidise the costs of these new initiatives through grant funding, and we were very successful in doing so in 2017/18. Fundraising/event income remained steady, with reduced income from the 2018 Butterfly Ball supplemented by a fantastic return from StepUp! for Down syndrome 2017. During the year, in regard to revenue: 1. The 2018 annual Down Syndrome WA ‘Butterfly’ Charity Ball, brought in $47,000 – following the trend of steadily decreasing returns from the event in the past 3 years. This, along with member feedback, has led to the decision to suspend the event and investigate alternatives for 2019 and beyond.

2. In contrast, StepUp! for Down syndrome continues to grow, with the 2017 event bringing in over $31,000 - a great result, for a much smaller outlay than the Ball.

3. As with the previous financial year, grant funding has been our most significant source of revenue for 2017/18. We received $367,617 in new grant funding for specific projects.

4. We also continued with fee for service income from the Aim High club and professional development for education and support staff in both the metropolitan and country areas. In regard to expenditure: 5. Not surprisingly, our largest cost is wage related. Grant funding has allowed us to effectively subsidise this cost in the 2017/18 financial year. The majority of grant funds came via the WA ILC program, in what looks to be the last major round of this funding available at a state level. Future projects will involve working closely with Down Syndrome Australia to procure funding at a national level. As always if any of our members are aware of opportunities, be it potential corporate sponsorships or grant funding, we would encourage them to get in touch. Stephen Pollard Treasurer

Services and Programs

Down Syndrome Helpline The Helpline provides people with direct contact with DSWA either by phone, email, social

media or via website contact. During the past year, people contacted us for practical and

emotional support such as prenatal and new parent support, and help to find information

on a wide range of issues for people and families at all ages and stages of life. These

included health and medical concerns, queries about development, behaviour, education,

recreation opportunities, ageing and mainstream services in the community. We also met

with people face-to-face to help with information and support.

New parent support DSWA provides information and support to new families including hospital and home visits,

follow-up calls and a new parent information kit. During 2017-18, DSWA was involved in

supporting the families of 18 new babies.

DSWA also provided prenatal information and support. There were seven calls and four

prenatal visits.

Developmental playgroup The DSWA playgroup is run by staff with lived experience as parents as well as professional

therapy expertise, and regular volunteer helpers including two adults with Down syndrome.

Playgroup provides specialised developmental activities for babies and toddlers, with a

focus on fun and success. It also offers parents a relaxed environment for peer to peer

support and sharing information. There are also occasional guest presenters on topics of

interest.

The playgroup was sponsored by Telethon this year and has more than 35 members.

Previously only running fortnightly, the group now runs every week, and we have also set up

a second playgroup in Warnbro, which already has 20 members and is growing.

Networking A key part of DSWA’s peer support role is linking families who have children of similar ages,

or who live in similar areas or who have common issues. We do this through support groups,

workshops for families, our Facebook Support Network Group, and through other

occasional events.

Page 9

www.downsyndromewa.org.au

In the past year, 42 adults and 35 children have attended our new parent morning teas, with

an average of seven families each session. As well as bringing families together, they learned

about the kinds of therapies and other supports they should be getting and how to access

these.

An important part of being connected is getting regular information about what is

happening and common areas of interest. As well as our active social media, we also send

out an eNews at least monthly with a calendar of events and activities as well as other

information as it happens.

Friends for Life This is a new DSWA group for children aged 11 to 17 years and their families, funded by a

CBA grant. The first meet and greet was in April, and we now have 31 members, with an

average of 20 coming to each event. Two DSWA staff, who are also parents, along with

thirteen active teen volunteers, coordinate and run the events.

Activities so far include bowling, a basketball clinic, Latitude Air (trampolining), Zumba/Disco and

Cupcake making. The group has been very well received by both the teens and their parents, many

of who knew each other when they were babies but had since lost touch.

Aim High Club Aim High is a social and life skills group for young adults with Down syndrome run by a

coordinator and a group of young volunteers. There are currently 39 members of the club

who can choose from a quarterly calendar of activities that members help to put together.

The activities provide opportunities to learn skills in real life, interesting and fun situations.

They have enjoyed a weekend away, pub meals and music, surfing, Bounce, learnt about

technology safety, using public transport, speaking up for yourself and other life and

independence skills.

We have recently appointed a new Social Club Coordinator, and have plans to expand the

Club to cater for the changing needs of our members, as they grow and gain new life

experience.

Workshops DSWA has run a number of workshops this year, offering families information and support

for the various life stages. This has included sessions on education, planning for life after

school, and sessions on the NDIS.

DSWA received two grants from the Department of Communities to produce materials and

run information workshops on pre-planning and self-management. The sessions were a

chance for people to find out what might go into an NDIS plan at different ages and stages

Page 10

www.downsyndromewa.org.au

of life and the different options for managing the plan. We held 20 information sessions

during this financial year, as well as providing individual support through our helpline.

We also produced a range of resources to help with preparing for the NDIS. You can

download these free from the DSWA website.

Disability Support Organisation (DSO) Groups DSWA has run peer support groups for many years – it’s how our organisation began over

30 years ago – but in 2014 we were fortunate to receive some funding to set up more local

groups in both metro and regional areas. The groups were funded by the Department of

Social Services to help the Down syndrome community to be well informed and supported

to prepare for and get the best from the NDIS.

DSWA has 15 DSO groups that have received information and capacity building related to

the NDIS. This includes our new parent group, playgroup and Aim High, as well as groups in

Albany, Busselton, Bunbury and the metro area. A total of 92 group meetings were held

during this financial year, as well as individual consultations by phone.

One of our DSO groups is the NDIS & Me Facebook group. Administered by DSWA, this

group has grown to become a very active group that includes more than 850 members all

over Australia. It has become the go-to group for people with Down syndrome and their

families when they want to either share or find out information about the NDIS.

We have also produced a regular NDIS & Me eNews to keep people in WA up to date with

what has been happening regarding the NDIS in our state.

Community Awareness and Development At DSWA, we actively work to create a more informed and inclusive community. This takes

many forms, from providing information resources, to talks and presentations to various

groups, and regular information and engagement through our DSWA Community Facebook

page. We also now have an active Facebook group for teachers of students with Down

syndrome. Annual events include World Down Syndrome Day, National Down Syndrome

Awareness Week, and the national Step Up! walk as well as the Butterfly Ball and other

fundraising events.

Training and Consultancy DSWA offers a range of training and consultancy services. Every year, we run a full day

professional development workshop for teaching staff. 54 educators came to our workshop

in March 2018. We also ran training sessions throughout the year in both metropolitan and

regional schools, and for staff in disability service provider organisations. As well as group

Page 11

www.downsyndromewa.org.au

sessions, DSWA provides consultancy services for trouble-shooting and classroom or

workplace strategy development.

We also offer accessible information services. This includes advice on developing

information in accessible formats, translating information into Plain English and Easy Read

and workshops on accessible information. All training and consultancy is delivered on a fee

for service basis, with quotes available.

DSWA and the NDIS DSWA is now a registered service provider, with both state Disability Services and the NDIS.

This means that people with Down syndrome and their families can use their individual

funds to purchase some DSWA services and supports. Our aim is to continue in our areas of

expertise in peer support and training.

Down Syndrome Australia – CEO’s Report

I am pleased to be able to provide you with an overview of the work of Down Syndrome Australia in the 2017-2018 financial year. Down Syndrome Australia (DSA) has continued to provide strong advocacy as the national voice for Australians with Down syndrome and their families. DSA has been successful again this year in attracting grants for several important projects which will enable us to continue to develop new resources and information platforms.

Advocacy and Policy Development DSA is the national voice of people with Down syndrome and their families. Over the past year we have provided important advocacy on key issues in partnership with people with Down syndrome. This year, we were incredibly excited and pleased to launch the Down Syndrome Advisory Network (DSAN). The DSAN (https://www.downsyndrome.org.au/advisory_network.html) is made up of people with Down syndrome from across Australia who provide information and advice to the DSA Board and CEO. It is thanks to the support from the Sherry-Hogan Foundation that we were able to develop this new network.

Since this first meeting, the DSAN have met every month to discuss a range of topics that are important to them and have played an important role in DSA’s advocacy work. They have also participated in the World Down Syndrome Countdown and will be attending the morning tea. You can read more about the network and the work they have done at https://www.downsyndrome.org.au/advisory_network.html

One of our key areas of focus for advocacy this year has been the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS). We have been working with the NDIA on issues that affect our community including advocating for automatic eligibility to the NDIS, addressing problems with planning meetings and the knowledge of planners, addressing barriers to accessing services and supporting information about the NDIS. This year we conducted a National Survey on experience with the NDIS and were pleased to receive nearly 400 responses from the community. The results of this survey has been integral in our advocacy to the NDIA.

We have also started developing position statements on key advocacy issues which provides a platform for engagement with Government on these issues. The first two completed are prenatal screening and education. These statements as well as Plain English and Easy Read versions can be downloaded from here: https://www.downsyndrome.org.au/position_statements.html. We have also been working on issues around employment for people with Down syndrome. Our submission on the future of supported employment can be found here: https://www.downsyndrome.org.au/documents/submissions/employment/Supported_Employment_Enquiry_submission_DSA.pdf.

Page 13

www.downsyndromewa.org.au

We have continued to have engagement with key Commonwealth Government Ministers and the Opposition as well as senior bureaucrats in relevant Government departments. DSA has also continued to strengthen its relationships with other peak bodies in the disability sector, including the Australian Federation of Disability Organisations (AFDO), Inclusion Australia and others.

Community Awareness and Profile DSA has also been working to raise community awareness and understanding about Down syndrome and to promote inclusion. As part of this work we developed a social media campaign for World Down Syndrome Day that included 21 stories about people with Down Syndrome in the countdown to World Down Syndrome Day on 21st of March

(https://www.downsyndrome.org.au/news//wdsd_stories_2018.html). We also held a very successful Down Syndrome Parliamentary Morning Tea. We were very fortunate to welcome our Patron, His Excellency General the Honourable Sir Peter Cosgrove AK MC (Retd) Governor-General of the Commonwealth of Australia at our Parliamentary Morning Tea. His Excellency addressed our audience of politicians, families and organisational members and you can read his full speech here: https://www.downsyndrome.org.au/news//WDSD2018_GG_speech.html. We were also pleased to be joined by the members of our Down Syndrome Advisory Network, including Claire Mitchell who spoke at the event. You can read about her visit to Parliament here: https://www.downsyndrome.org.au/documents/dsan/works_by_members/claire_mitchell/Clai

re_Mitchell_WDSD.pdf?ot=desc&o=date. For the fourth year in a row, the Australian Senate passed a motion acknowledging World Down Syndrome Day.

We have continued to provide a quarterly national e-newsletter to provide updates and information about the work of Down Syndrome Australia. This initiative has been very successful with each newsletter reaching nearly 1000 individuals. You can sign up to our newsletter here: https://www.downsyndrome.org.au/. We also continue to produce our fabulous magazine Voice and now provide an opportunity to subscribe online

(https://www.downsyndrome.org.au/subscribe.html). This has increased our subscription base including to international subscribers.

Information and New Resources Community Inclusion toolkits

DSA has developed a range of new resources designed to support inclusion in the community. We spoke to people with Down syndrome and their families across Australia about their experiences with being involved in their communities. We asked them what worked well and what made it harder to be involved. We used this information to create videos, fact sheets, information sheets, presentations and case studies. These resources make up our Community Inclusion Toolkit which aims to give people practical information about how to support inclusion. The toolkit is available at: www.communityinclusion.org.au.

Click on the different icons to get information specific to health, education, employment and community groups.

Page 14

www.downsyndromewa.org.au

To date we have had very positive feedback about the toolkits. Over the next two years we will continue to further develop the materials in the toolkits and also to create a fully accessible app that provides a link to information about Down syndrome and community inclusion.

Information for Life Resources

Down Syndrome Australia has also developed a suite of new resources that provide information at some of the key life stages and transition points. These evidenced-based publications aim to support people with Down syndrome and their families by providing accessible information. The new resources available are:

Guide for expectant parents Guide for new parents (FAQ) Guide for new parents Early years Adolescence Living independently – Easy Read Living independently – Plain English Employee’s Guide – Easy Read Employee’s Guide – Plain English Employer’s Guide Ageing

These guides are also available for download in the new Resources section of the website: www.downsyndrome.org.au/resources

Dementia Publication

Down Syndrome Australia and Dementia Australia (https://www.dementia.org.au/) produced a new publication: Down Syndrome and Dementia - a Guide for Families, authored by Dr Jennifer Torr of Monash University. The resource was developed to inform and empower people supporting a person with Down syndrome to:

Understand the links between lifestyle, health and dementia

Promote healthy active living

Support a person with Down syndrome and dementia

Advocate for appropriate services and informed care.

You can download the full guide on our resources page (https://www.downsyndrome.org.au/resources.html).

www.downsyndromewa.org.au

New Initiatives

This year DSA has been successful in attracting a number of grants including:

ILC National Grants to develop a single national information portal (website) on Down syndrome, as well as a Grant to do further work on our toolkits and develop a national app/

ACT and NSW Jurisdictional grants which will provide support, community engagement and linkages for families in the ACT and NSW.

Continued grant funding from the Sherry Hogan Foundation to support the continued development of a National Down Syndrome Advisory Network.

I look forward to being able to report on the progress of these initiatives in next year’s annual report.
