Confidentiality

We value your privacy and we have a strong commitment to confidentiality.

Information about the nature of your disability or medical condition is not disclosed.

The word 'disability' is used in a generic way to protect your privacy. It is used in letters to course co-ordinators and other documents to describe all physical, psychological and psychiatric conditions and injuries that are verified to the University by a health professional.

Information obtained from you about the functional impact of the disability or medical condition is used to develop an Access Plan. This will inform how best to develop specific accommodations and reasonable adjustments to support you in your study. Information contained in your Access Plan will be shared with University of Adelaide staff solely for the purpose of assisting you in your studies.

Your choice to work with the Disability Service is not reflected on your transcript. The University has policies which aim to protect and support students with disabilities and eliminate discrimination wherever possible:


Stories from our students

"Throughout all my contact with the Disability Service I have full confidence that confidentiality is maintained at all times. 

"Not only are there initial consent forms that legally confer that confidential information will remain so at all times, I am constantly assured that the policy has not been forgotten when dealing with all issues no matter the importance. 

"Confidentiality has been prominent in my use of the services as many issues that have arisen have called for the need to involve other parties such as lecturers and course coordinators. 

"At all times throughout these communications confidentiality policies have been strictly adhered to."
