Stories from our students

"I was quite nervous when I first went to the Disability Service, having had some negative experiences dealing with equivalent offices during my school career.

"However, my Disability Advisor was friendly and welcoming and never once judged me because of my learning disability. After providing documentation about my learning disability, it was never mentioned again; we only discussed the amendments requied to help me achieve at my full potential."

Finding out who to talk to

If you would like to organise an appointment, the first step is to contact the Disability Service:

By phone +61 8 8303 5962
By email dlo@adelaide.edu.au
By dropping into the Counselling & Disability Service (follow our directions on how to get here)
Roseworthy students can also contact the Roseworthy Student Advisor directly on 8303 7932 or rsa@adelaide.edu.au.

One of the Student Support Officers will help you out, or book an appointment with a Disability Advisor (DA).

When you have an appointment with a DA, we will go through ways we could help you manage your specific needs. Do not forget to bring along the right information to help us help you (our checklist will help).
