Help bridge the gap for students with disability.

Completing a professional placement is a vital step toward graduation and future employment. For many CQUniversity students, placements are compulsory — the bridge between study and a career.  

But for students with disability, and for those caring for someone with a disability, that bridge can come with additional barriers. 

Inclusive Placement Assistance helps remove those barriers, ensuring students with disability can complete their placements with dignity, confidence, and the support they need to succeed.

The challenge

For students with a disability, placements often come with added costs that aren’t covered elsewhere. These may include transport to unfamiliar locations, accessible accommodation, assistive technology, medical expenses, or reduced capacity to work during unpaid placement hours. 

Without support, some students are forced to delay their placement, reduce their study load, or step away from their degree altogether. It’s not ability that stands in the way, it’s access.

The solution

Inclusive Placement Assistance bursaries provide targeted financial support to help students with a disability, as well as those with caring responsibilities, complete compulsory work placements. This support allows them to focus on learning, gaining professional experience, and moving closer to graduation.

Funds raised through the CQUniCares Appeal will help provide bursaries that can support costs such as:

  • Accessible or additional transport requirements
  • Suitable temporary accommodation during placement
  • Assistive technology or specialised equipment
  • Increased living or medical expenses
  • Other costs that arise during placement

These payments are about equity. They help level the playing field so students with disability have the same opportunity to succeed as their peers.
