Accessible Pathways: A Graduate Recruitment Guide for Students with Disabilities

Monash Career Connect is thrilled to announce the launch of the Accessible Pathways: A Graduate Recruitment Guide for Students with Disabilities module, now available on the Career Connect Moodle site!

This essential resource is designed to support students with disabilities as they navigate the graduate recruitment process.

This Module Covers:

  • Applying for jobs with a disability
  • Sharing disability information with employers
  • Accessing workplace support
  • Tips for the first year of employment

This is the result of Career Connect’s collaborative effort with the Australian Disability Network, Disability Support Services (DSS), Gradwise, and Disability Confident Recruiters from the AAGE.

A huge thank you to everyone who contributed their valuable insights during the round tables.

Monash Graduate Research Equity Supplement

This is a top-up scholarship supplement intended to assist with extra expenses a Graduate Research student with a disability or long-term medical condition incurs during the pursuit of their degree.

This is a one-off award intended for use by the recipient to support these extra expenses directly related to their research undertaking.

  • Expenses unrelated to the pursuit of research will not be covered (such as vehicle, medical costs, etc.) Applicants must clearly state how their research will benefit from the supplement if awarded.

Extra expenses May Include:

  • travel by taxi or modified vehicle
  • attendant care on campus
  • purchase of specialised adaptive technology
  • library assistance (i.e. searching, scanning, photocopying and carrying materials)
  • research material in a format other than ordinary print (i.e. large print, audio-type)
  • communication in other than oral mode (i.e. written, interpreter, computer with voice synthesizer)
