Accessibility support

We aim to meet the diverse needs of our community, and providing an accessibility support service is an important part of that.

Accessibility Services supports students with temporary or ongoing disabilities, medical or mental health conditions, or carer responsibilities. We’re committed to creating an inclusive environment where everyone – including students, staff, residents and visitors – feels supported and valued.

What we can provide

We'll work with you to meet your needs. We can help with:

  • application and enrolment processes
  • campus orientation
  • access requirements
  • adaptive study materials or equipment
  • alternative learning and assessment tasks
  • exam arrangements
  • referrals to other support services.

If you have a disability and you're about to move from secondary school to TAFE, we can help you:

  • understand and prepare for the TAFE environment
  • develop a transition plan
  • arrange support group meetings
  • understand reasonable adjustments and student rights

This service is free and available for the first 90 days of your enrolment. For more information, please call (03) 5327 9470 or email dtso.accessibility@federation.edu.au.
