Disability Action Plan

Introduction

UniSA is committed to improving the equality of opportunity and outcomes for staff and students with disabilities and encouraging all members of the University community to engage with, understand and respect differences and similarities among people.

The University of South Australia demonstrates this commitment through the UniSA Disability Action Plan (DAP).

In 1997, the University was one of the first organisations in Australia to implement a Disability Action Plan. During 2002/2003, the UniSA DAP underwent extensive review, followed by a broad consultation process. In 2004 the Senior Management Group and Academic Board endorsed the new plan.

The review has resulted in the UniSA Disability Action Plan being strengthened and divided into three sections:

  1. Students — which deals with matters principally affecting students with disabilities.
  2. Staff — which contains strategies that predominantly relate to staff with disabilities.
  3. General University Community — which includes matters affecting the entire University community.

If you would like to comment on the staff or general University community sections of the plan, please contact the Consultant: HR Services (Equity and Diversity),  on  8302 1700.

If you have any comments on the student section of the plan, please contact the Executive Officer to the Deputy Vice Chancellor: Academic.

If you have any problems accessing the plan or would prefer it in another format — please contact Consultant: HR Services (Equity and Diversity),  on  8302 1700.
