Support
Students with a disability (AccessAbility)
AccessAbility can provide support whether your condition is permanent, fluctuating or temporary. We also offer support if you are the primary carer of someone with a disability or medical condition.
Who is eligible for disability support?
The definition of ‘disability’ under the Disability Discrimination Act 1992 is broad and includes physical, intellectual, psychiatric, sensory, neurological and learning disabilities.
Students with a disability or medical condition, as well as full-time carers, can access support systems via AccessAbility.
