Our Mission
Swinburne University of Technology
is committed to increasing and enhancing practices and educational
opportunities for people with disabilities. This commitment
is based on a philosophy of integration that characterises
the University's approach to service provision. The Disability
Support Service, operated by the Equity and Disabilty Unit,
Student Services, ensures the application of this philosophy
in assisting students to manage their studies effectively
in the face of disability.
How we can help
Disability Liaison Officers are
available on each campus to assist students to access and
fully participate in study by determining their support needs
and clarifying the information that needs to be passed on
to academic staff.
In meeting with a Disability Liaison
Officer, students are typically requested to provide information
that will assist Swinburne in the planning and implementation
of appropriate support services. The responsible Disability
Liaison Officer will then discuss, with each student individually,
the ways the disability may impact on study in order to determine
the appropriate support services to be put in place. Once
the appropriate services are identified, a service plan will
be developed. These services can also be reviewed at any time,
particularly if the student's circumstances change.
This service is available to all
currently enrolled students, at no charge.
