Section 5: Students with Disabilities:
Code of Practice for Australian Tertiary Institutions

Following extensive consultations with institutions and providers, a national Code of Practice for Australian Tertiary Institutions was established during 1998.

The Code of Practice:

    1. establishes principles and guidelines for planning and delivery of services to students with disabilities across the tertiary education and training sector;
    2. recommends national minimum standards of service and support; and
    3. identifies and documents examples of good practice in institutional responses to students with disabilities.

Copies of the Code are available from the personnel listed in Section 6 and at the following website address:
