A bit of background about the Universities Disabilities Co-operative Project (NSW). It was established in 1991 with funding from the Department of Employment, Education, Training (DEET) - then the Department of Employment, Education, Training and Youth Affairs (DEETYA) and now Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations (DEEWR). Its goal is to develop strategies that meet the needs of students with disabilities in higher education as effectively and economically as possible.
Initially consisting of representatives of the Sydney metropolitan universities, it now includes all universities in New South Wales as members, as well as the New South Wales Regional Disability Liaison Officers.
