Welcome to CATS

CATS website now updated to reflect AVCC Guidelines

In 2006 the AVCC developed Disability Guidelines, to assist universities in meeting the needs of students with disabilities across the spectrum of the student experience from recruitment and selection through to transition to employment. The Guidelines for good practice encompass the three key areas of policy and administration, teaching and learning and campus life and services.

This website has a framework for good practice that provides information and resources to assist universities to comply with these guidelines and the Disability Discrimination Act and Disability Standards for Education.   

The framework includes a Self Assessment tool to assist universities to review performance against benchmarks.

For an introduction to how you might best use this CATS resource start with the entry points below: 

• Academics - teachers, researchers and those responsible for teaching and learning quality
• Senior Administrators - those involved in management or policy development 
• Service Managers - those responsible for management of services and student organisations
• Disability Practitioners - Including those from community based organisations.

You can also subscribe to a free monthly e-newsletter summarising the latest news items, resources and web links.

A series of companion booklets are available from CATS.

This website has been funded by the Carrick Institute and the project background includes the project report and literature review
