About Us
We are a community of families with Williams Syndrome members, based in Victoria, Australia.
We aim to provide help and support for families with a child or adult with Williams Syndrome and empower those with Williams Syndrome to reach their full potential.
We invite new families, supportive community members, sponsors and relevant health professionals to participate in the life of our group and apply for membership.
