PDS Australia was started in 2002 and strived to bring hope and support to families who have received a prenatal diagnosis of their unborn baby or the birth of a child with a disability. The original website of PDS Australia was brought down on around 2019. Since the information and articles of the website are deemed very helpful for the online community, me and my team unarchived the information from the original website.
PDS Australia empowers families to build strong relationships with their children, create a safe environment for their children’s development, and ensure the best possible outcomes for their children.
We offer experienced guidance and support to help you navigate this difficult time.

Always seek the advice of a Doctor or Mental Health Clinician or other qualified healthcare provider with any questions you may have regarding pregnancy or grief and loss issues. Never disregard professional medical advice or delay in seeking it because of something you have read on the PDS Australia Site.
