The University is undertaking a review of University-wide support for students with a disability in November 2016.

The aim of this review is to examine the Murdoch University experience of students with a disability/medical conditions with the goal of providing a level of support and institutional engagement that is compliant with legislation and policy, and meets the needs of our student community.

To help us better understand the experience of our students and the experience of supporting our student community, we welcome your submission to the review. We are particularly interested in understanding:

• What is your awareness and understanding of our commitments to students with a disability, including the requirements under University policy, Commonwealth or State legislation?
• Based upon your experience, how well is the University meeting the needs of our students with a disability?
• What aspects of the study and university experience are currently working well to support students in their learning and staff in their teaching of students with disability?
• What changes or improvements could be made to make better support our students and our staff in providing appropriate accommodations?

All submissions will be kept confidential, available to the review panel and staff supporting the review only.  Please note the purpose of the review is not to investigate and resolve individual problems but the issue of concern will be noted. 

 

If you would like to discuss your submission further and be a part of a discussion with the panel in early November please confirm your interest in your response. The deadline for your feedback is Friday 28 October 2016. Please email Senior Quality Assurance Officer, Ms Alison Black (A.black@murdoch.edu.au)  or respond by post to:
