From all of us all at DDWA, we hope you can make time to recharge, reflect, and enjoy the season.
DDWA's office is closed from 20 December 2024, 5pm, until 6 January 2025, 9am.
Thank you for being a part of our community and for your ongoing support.
Here are a couple resources for the summer and holidays when some services may be closed:
With Australian summer into swing, visit our online resources about "Staying Safe and Getting Ready for Bad Weather". We’re talking cyclones, storms, floods, and bushfires – situations that can get pretty intense, especially if you’re a bit unsure about what steps to take. This web page has ideas, checklists and tips on what to consider to be prepared: https://ddwa.org.au/emergency-weather-vulnerable-people-intellectual-disability-tips-prepare-stay-safe/.
