Students are not required to disclose anything about their disability and/or health condition and can choose what information is given to Academic staff.

Any information that you provide to the Disability Service or a Disability Advisor is confidential except when:

• It is subpoenaed by a court, or
• Failure to disclose information would place you or another person at risk, or
• The University is required to forward identifying information to the Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations (DEEWR) to satisfy funding and administrative requirements.

Disclosure is a dilemma most students with a disability and/or health condition face and one which presents a number of challenges and choices.

Please see this web based resource focusing on issues related to disclosure that provides information on the benefits and disadvantages of disclosing as well as some key considerations in achieving effective disclosure.

For more information please contact the Disability Service.
