AccessAbility Disability Service
At ACAP we are committed to providing appropriate and reasonable adjustments to students with a disability or chronic health condition. If you have a disability, illness, injury, health condition, or neurodiversity that impacts on your academic studies, or if you care for someone in these circumstances, then you may be eligible to register with the Service.
AccessAbility provides reasonable adjustments so that students have an equal opportunity to successfully complete their studies. All reasonable adjustments must meet the inherent requirements of a course.
