ABOUT US

The journey for newly diagnosed individuals and their families is difficult. It is an emotional roller coaster of uncertainty, fear, grief and loneliness. We hope to provide existing and newly diagnosed families with the relative comfort that comes from knowing they are not alone in their journey.

​

There are Dup15q families located all over Australia and we encourage all newly diagnosed families to make contact with us on our Contact Us page. You can also find us at facebook.com/dup15qaustralia. Once you have connected with us we will add you to our Families Only page where you can connect directly with other families around Australia.
