Whether you're studying at our Sydney or Canberra campus, »Ê¹Ú²ÊƱ aims to deliver inclusive education as part of our commitment to Progress for All. Our physical, digital and communications infrastructure have been developed with various disabilities in mind to ensure that they are accessible to everyone. This includes installing assistive learning technology throughout teaching and learning spaces, and delivering modified support services to ensure you are getting the help you need in your academic journey.  

Disability Inclusion Action Plan

Progress is endless. At »Ê¹Ú²ÊƱ, we are continously reviewing opportunities and plans to improve inclusive education. Have a look at what we've achieved so far and what else is in store as part of our action plan to support students and staff with disability.

Delivering dedicated services through the Hidden Disabilities Sunflower initiative

Several support services across the University, including The Nucleus: Student Hub, are trained to assist students with hidden disabilities who may need a helping hand communicating their needs. These are conditions that may not be immediately visible such as autism, chronic pain, dementia, anxiety, visual or hearing impairement.

We're here to ensure that we remove any barriers preventing you from accessing resources to help you while you're studying at »Ê¹Ú²ÊƱ. Look for a staff member with a sunflower badge similar to the image near this text when you're visiting one of our services if you require support.
