Australian Disability Clearinghouse on Education and Training

All education and training institutions offer support services. Whilst all universities and many TAFE institutes employ specialist disability support staff (eg. Disability Liaison Officers or Disability Advisers), in some TAFEs around the country, this role is fulfilled by generalist student services staff.

The National Disability Coordination Officer program (NDCO) works toward the Australia wide coordination and delivery of transition services for people with a disability who are at, or who will be attending university, vocational education and training or training at another organisation.

Ask the NDCO in your region for assistance in finding contact details of disability support staff at a specific university or TAFE.

We have started to collect details for university disability support staff around Australia. Please visit the university disability advisers page to locate the university you want information on. If you are unable to find what you need contact your NDCO.
