Completing your uni journey comes with its own set of challenges, and for students with disabilities, whether physical or mental, these challenges can sometimes feel overwhelming. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019ve put together some essential resources to help you succeed throughout your studies if you live with a disability or are a carer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Learn about our AccessAbility Services<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you live with a disability, physical or mental health condition that affects your studies, or if you have a significant caring role for a person with a disability, you have access to a range of support through Curtin\u2019s AccessAbility Service<\/a>. AccessAbility is here to help you manage your studies, organise alternative exam requirements, offering mobility assistance and lots more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Apply for a Curtin Access Plan<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For personalised support, consider applying for a Curtin Access Plan (CAP<\/a>)! A CAP is a document that outlines the reasonable adjustments recommended for a student with a disability, physical or mental health condition or a carer of a person with disability to enable equitable access to their studies and assessments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether you have a diagnosed disability, are experiencing a temporary disability, or are fulfilling significant caregiving responsibilities, you could be eligible for a CAP to assist with your studies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
