Some of Our Parts

The Minister for Education and Training, in consultation with the Attorney-General, is required to conduct a review of the effectiveness of the Disability Standards for Education every five years. Urbis has been commissioned to undertake the 2015 review.

The Standards seek to ensure that students with disability are able to access and participate in education on the same basis as students without disability. On the same basis means that a student with disability must have opportunities and choices which are comparable with those offered to students without disability.

People with disability and their families are particularly encouraged to consider making a contribution, as are educators and education providers. Organisations representing or working with these groups are also encouraged to consider making a formal submission.

Learn how to participate by checking out the Review of the Disability Standards for Education website.
