Students with disability
Students with disability or a health condition that require reasonable adjustments to participate in their career-ready placement have a range of resources available to support them.
The Australian Network on Disability
The Australian Network on Disability has created a number of useful resources to help students and jobseekers with disability or a health condition prepare for different stages of the career-ready placement recruitment process.
The National Disability Coordination Officer Program
The National Disability Coordination Officer Program (NDCO) has a number of resources available for students looking to source their own career-ready placement experience as well as those looking to secure a job after graduating.
University Support Services
Don’t forget the Careers Service can help you build a meaningful and rewarding career by providing best practice advice on career planning, career-ready placement sourcing, job searching, and application and interview tips.

It provides a holistic approach to support and includes personal services such as advocacy, assessment support, Auslan or signed English interpreters, example support, and lecture support.
