Register for accessibility support

Make an appointment if you'd like to register your condition, discuss your options and access reasonable adjustments.

If you have a disability, medical condition or mental health condition (or care for someone who does), we encourage you to meet with an accessibility officer to explore your options. We can work with you to develop a Learning Access Plan (LAP) and arrange reasonable adjustments for your study and assessments.

You'll need to present evidence of your disability or condition (or your caring responsibilities) before you can register for support. This could be a medical certificate or a Health Care Professional Certification Form.

Accessibility support FAQs

Your first meeting with Accessibility Services is a chance to talk about how your disability affects your experience at university. We’ll work with you to identify reasonable adjustments and supports that suit your individual needs, and create a Learning Access Plan (LAP).

Your Learning Access Plan is a document that outlines the adjustments you need. You can share it with your teachers if you like (or ask staff to do this for you). And you can update, add or remove supports at any time.

If you attached your supporting documents when you booked, you don't have to bring anything to the meeting (unless you've since obtained new documents that might be useful). If you didn't attach anything when you booked, please bring evidence of your disability or condition to the meeting. And if you don't have any medical documents, that’s okay – attend anyway and we’ll help figure out what’s needed.

Yes. You’re welcome to bring a support person to any meeting if it helps you feel more comfortable.
