Announcement

The University of Adelaide is happy to announce that the Disability Action Plan 2008 - 2013 has been lodged with the Australian Human Rights Commission. This plan has resulted from a broad consultation process thoughout the University. It is an important component in providing equitable outcomes and participation for our students and staff who have a disability.

Disability Service

University study can be a challenge … even more so if you have a disability or condition that you need to manage as well. 

The Disability Service can help you manage ways to accommodate your disability whilst at Uni so you can focus your energies towards your studies. We not only look at physical or practical assistance, but we also look at ways to improve study habits in the University environment.

And we value your privacy.  Our strong commitment to confidentiality supports all students that we assist.

What types of disabilities do we support?

Student disabilities can include a wide range of issues:

• Learning disabilities (such as dyslexia, dysbraxia or writing and reading difficulties)
• Medical conditions (such as Crohns Disease, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome or other physical issues)
• Mental illness (an anxiety disorder such as OCD or PTSD, depression, bipolar disorder or schizophrenia)
• Brain injury (such as strokes or injuries caused by accidents)

Disabilities and conditions do not have to be permanent.  We have helped students with temporary medical issues such as those caused by sporting accidents (a fractured limb).
