Disability
DFAT strongly encourages applications from people with disability who are otherwise eligible for a
Scholarship. Under the Disability Discrimination Act, Australian education institutions have to provide
'reasonable adjustments' to students with disability to assist access to study. To assess the likely support
needs, appropriate assistance, and the capacity of relevant institutions to provide the assistance,
awardees with a disability/special need must provide details of the disability and/or special need when they
accept their offer. This information is bound by Australian privacy laws and will be disclosed only for the
purpose of facilitating an accessible barrier-free learning environment.
Modifications to physical or learning environments, including additional educational supports such as sign
interpreters and captioning, may be available depending on the relevant Institution's capacity. DFAT will
advise the Institution of any special requirements associated with an Awardee so that the Institution can
pass these details to the Institution’s Disability Liaison Officer prior to the Awardee arriving on-campus.
Where an Institution is not able to provide the assistance requested, other Institutions may be
recommended.
If yes, please provide details if you require special assistance or equipment to participate in the
scholarship selection processes or to live and undertake studies in Australia?
Hearing and Speaking - to communicate with others do you require or use any specific assistance?
(For example, hearing aids, sign language interpreter, lip reading, other communication assistive
device or additional time.)
Writing and Reading - to access information and communicate using written materials do you
require or use any specific assistance? (For example, large print, Braille, computer software (e.g.
Jaws), lap top/computer, someone to transcribe for you, or additional time.)
If you use an assistive device, please tell us what kind of device it is and/or if you have ever used a
different type of device.
Do you require any specific changes or adaptations to move around?
