Students with disability have the right to access and participate in education on the same basis as students without disability.
The Disability Standards for Education 2005 (the Standards) outline the obligations of education providers to support students with disability.
The Standards are reviewed every 5 years to make sure they continue to meet the needs of students with disability. The last review was conducted in 2020, and submissions to the 2025 Review are now open.
The 2025 Review of the Standards will focus on 3 main topics:
- effective implementation of the Standards
- inclusive decision-making
- clear responsibilities for assessment authorities and course developers.
You can have your say by making an online submission (written, video or audio files are accepted), completing an online survey or leaving a comment on the digital Ideas Wall.
