We work to improve health services and the health system to better support people with intellectual disability.
Our priorities include:
- Equipping health professionals with skills, training and confidence needed to provide high quality care to people with intellectual disability.
- Developing, identifying, and sharing best practice Models of Care
- Supporting access to clinical expertise in intellectual disability health in states that do not have specialised intellectual disability health services.
