Don’t be put off by the word ‘disability’. If you think you may require additional assistance while at UNSW, please contact us. Even if you are unsure about contacting us, we encourage you to do so anyway. Our services are free and confidential and we may be able to help you. DisclosureWe understand advising UNSW of your disability is a big step. There is a wealth of information to help you decide such as Choosing your Path – Disclosure is a personal decision http://pubsites.uws.edu.au/rdlo/disclosure/index.htm. It is entirely up to you. We would like to reassure you that having a disability does not exclude you from obtaining a university education or put you at a disadvantage. Our services are available to you to help you achieve your educational goals. To put services in place, please register with Disability Services. You will need to provide us with appropriate documentation and relevant personal information. We are committed to a policy of confidentiality. Information you give us will not be released outside the Student Equity and Disabilities Unit (SEADU) without your written consent. The Disability Officer will discuss this in detail at your appointment. Information for staff |
