- Medical statements from online services will not be accepted unless face to face consultation occurs or a previous practitioner-patient relationship exists in accordance with the AMA Medical Certificate Guidelines, revised 2016.
- Medical statements from pharmacists are not acceptable.
- Signed statement on relevant official letterhead from Curtin University’s Counselling and Disability Services, valid Curtin Access Plan (CAP) or registered psychologist outlining how circumstances have impacted your studies.
Extenuating Personal Reasons: family issues (e.g., family injury, illness or bereavement) supporting documentation:
- Death Certificate or funeral notice.
- Police report or statement.
- Any form of supporting documentation accepted under the Student injury, illness or medical condition category listed above.
