Registration

Students Registering with the Disability Service for the First Time

To ensure that you receive all relevant assistance available to you, it is important that you register with the Student Support Centre as early as possible. This will allow sufficient time to organise your support requirements, as some assistive services can take up to several weeks to organise. If you are unsure as to whether you should register with the Student Support Centre (SSC) Disability Service or not, please contact the Disability & Intake Officer to discuss your options.

The personal and medical information you provide to the Disability Service is confidential and not released to third parties, unless authorised by yourself to do so or for legal reasons. To help you make an informed decision regarding disclosure to the University about your condition, please see the following link "To tell or not to tell" via the ADCET website .

To register with the Disability Support Service, please complete the following steps:

1. Complete the Student Support Centre - Disability Service Registration form and the Disclosure form.
2. Organise for the Treating Health Professionals Report to be completed by your Doctor, Specialist or Treating Health Professional. Please refer to the Registration Documentation Requirements Guide to ensure that sufficient information is provided on the Treating Health Professional report. If you have any queries regarding the completion of this form please contact the Disability & Intake Officer on 13 27 864 (13 CQUNI).
3. Forward the above correspondence to the Student Support Centre (post: Building 31, CQUniversity Australia, Bruce Highway, Rockhampton, Qld , 4702 or email: ssc-disability@cqu.edu.au).
4. Once the documentation is received, the Disability & Intake Officer will contact you to arrange either a face-to-face or phone interview to discuss your support needs.

5. A personalised Disability Support Plan will be developed with you by our support staff (at your campus or by telephone), which includes recommendations for adjustments or assistive services which you may require. This Plan will be emailed to your student email address for your record.
