Who can receive disability support?

Any student with a disability or long term medical condition is eligible for supports after assessment by a Disability Liaison Officer. The definition of disability as used in the Disability Discrimination Act (1992) is very broad and includes people who have a physical, learning, sensory, psychiatric disability or medical condition. A disability can be permanent or temporary.  

The Disability staff contact officer is bound by provisions of the Privacy Act, and will not release information without consent.
