Please note: There may be a waiting period during our busy times of the year.

If you are looking to obtain a Curtin Access Plan, we encourage you to make the appointment prior to the start of the study period or as early in the study period as possible as they may be long appointment wait times when the study period is underway.

Who can receive assistance?

You’re eligible for assistance if you have a disability, physical or mental health condition that is diagnosed by a doctor or other qualified health service provider, and it affects your studies. You can also get assistance if you have a significant caring role for a person with a disability (relative or friend) or are pregnant with medical complications.

See the What is a disability? page for the definition of a disability as well as common disabilities encountered at university.

Health Professional documentation

If you require disability support and ‘reasonable adjustments’ you must provide a letter or statement from an appropriately qualified health professional or a completed Health Professional Report form [.pdf 220kb] which provides information about your disability or medical condition and how it impacts on your studies. All documentation must be provided in English.

Please scan your documentation and email it to access.ability@curtin.edu.au prior to your appointment.
