Disability Information and Support provides learning support, advice, advocacy and information to students who have a disability, impairment, injury or medical condition that affects their study for a period of four weeks or more.

Disability Information and Support recognises that students with depression and other mental health conditions, specific learning difficulties, medical conditions, temporary injuries, visual, hearing, and mobility disabilities, as well as those who are Deaf, may require additional resources or assistance while studying.

How to arrange support

Before you can start getting help from Disability Information and Support, you need to meet with one of our Student Advisors who can discuss your requirements with you and develop a support plan that will meet your needs.

You are welcome to bring a family member or support person when you visit Disability Information & Support, just let us know when you make your appointment.

All information supplied to Disability Information and Support is confidential and not available to any other university department or staff, except with your approval. This information is not recorded on your university record or marked on your qualification.
