Our Programs

Our programs, services and supports help create a brighter future for people with Down syndrome.

At Down Syndrome NSW Employment Connections, we aim to facilitate meaningful and sustainable employment opportunities for adults with Down syndrome, allowing them to lead fulfilling lives and make significant contributions in the workplace.

By partnering with employers and workplaces, we envision a future where diversity is celebrated, and every individual is given equal opportunities to succeed.   

For Employers

People with Down syndrome want to work for the same reasons as everyone else – to be independent, contribute to society, earn their own money, connect with peers and feel valued.
While people with Down syndrome have some level of intellectual impairment, each person is an individual bringing their own strengths, skills and qualities to the job.

If you are and employer interested in providing meaningful and sustainable employment to a person with Down syndrome, we can assist you with professional assistance and support program for employers committed to employing people with Down syndrome.
