Disability access and inclusion plan
At Curtin, we have a long history of commitment to equal opportunity in education and employment.
In 1997, we were the first Western Australian university to develop a voluntary Disability Services Plan, and in 2007 we lodged our first Disability Access and Inclusion Plan (DAIP).
Our continued commitment to creating an accessible and inclusive experience to our diverse university community is guided by our current DAIP 2022-2030.
