Event details

For over two decades, the Australian Disability Clearinghouse on Education and Training (ADCET) has served as Australia's premier national resource for promoting equity of opportunity, access, experience, and outcomes for tertiary education students with disability. Hosted by the University of Tasmania and funded by the Department of Education, ADCET has been the trusted partner of disability practitioners, educators, students, and policymakers across the higher education and VET sectors.

Join us as we highlight how ADCET can support you through our comprehensive resources, professional development opportunities, community building initiatives, and direct consultation services - all provided completely free. From Universal Design for Learning training to assistive technology guidance, from policy advocacy to peer support networks, ADCET embodies a collaborative approach to building inclusive educational environments.

ADCET is excited to share how we're currently working alongside the sector to transform accessibility from an individual accommodation into a systemic commitment. This presentation invites you to discover the breadth of ADCET's offerings and, most importantly, to join a nationwide community dedicated to ensuring all students with disability can thrive in tertiary education.

This webinar will be presented by ADCET's Manager, Rebecca Morris and our National Assistive Technology Project Officer, Darren Britten and will also include some special guests.

Audience: New and existing disability practitioners, educators, learning designers, and professional staff
