If you have a disability or health condition, you can access a range of support services to help you succeed at Curtin. Here are some useful resources to assist with your application.
The Australian Disability Clearinghouse on Education and Training (ADCET) website is a good place to start. It contains assistance for choosing and exploring your options, from NDIS plans and financial considerations, to choosing a course. We also recommend you check for any inherent course requirements before you apply.
Once you have chosen your course, we recommend you make an appointment with us to discuss your support requirements. We can then help you create a Curtin Access Plan, which is a document that outlines the reasonable adjustments you need may require to study the course.
Please advise us if you have any specific needs for the appointment, such as information in an alternative format or an Auslan interpreter.
A Curtin Access Plan (CAP) outlines reasonable adjustments to enable equitable access to your studies and assessments.
