Studying at university and TAFE

Taking part in higher education can be hard.

But there is support available if you need it.

Most universities and TAFEs have support programs and services to help people with disability.

They include:

• 1-on-1 teaching support
• private rooms to study
• counselling and psychology services where you can:
  • talk to someone about how you think and feel
  • find out ways to help you feel better
• healthcare services
• housing for students.

You have the right to get support to help you study.

If you ask for support and don’t get it, you can talk to an advocate – someone helps you to speak up for yourself.

You can learn more on the Standing up for your rights page of this website.

Most universities also have groups that are:

• run by students with disability
• for students with disability.

These groups are a good way to:

• connect with other students with disability
• get support.
