Considering higher education? A planning guide for people with disabilities or medical conditions

This is a comprehensive planning guide to assist people with disabilities or medical conditions to make an informed decision about what they want to study and, how to go about gaining entry into the course of their choice. It contains information relating to decisions about TAFE or university study, how to decide on a course or subject, what entry requirements are needed, how to apply for a place at TAFE or university, and what support is available. The planning guide also includes an Action Planner. This assists you to work through your study options and support needs in a systematic fashion.

This planning guide was initially produced by the UniAbility project and has now been re-developed by the National Regional Disability Liaison Officer Initiative, SA.
