DFAT strongly encourages applications from people with disability who are otherwise eligible for a
scholarship.
Under the Disability Discrimination Act, Australian education institutions have to provide 'reasonable
adjustments' to students with disability to assist access to study. To assess the likely support needs,
appropriate assistance, and the capacity of relevant institutions to provide the assistance, awardees with a
disability/special need must provide details of the disability and/or special need when they accept their
offer. This information is bound by Australian privacy laws and will be disclosed only for the purpose of
facilitating an accessible barrier-free learning environment.
Page 15 of 20
Modifications to physical or learning environments, including additional educational supports such as sign
interpreters and captioning, may be available depending on the relevant Institution's capacity. DFAT will
advise the Institution of any special requirements associated with an Awardee so that the Institution can
pass these details to the Institution’s Disability Liaison Officer prior to the Awardee arriving on-campus.
Where an Institution is not able to provide the assistance requested, other Institutions may be
recommended.
