About Us – disability support services
Our mission is to promote access and equity for students with disability, mental health or medical conditions. We want to enable people whose study is affected by temporary, fluctuating, or permanent conditions to participate as fully and independently as possible in the community at Monash University.
Monash, like all public bodies in Australia, has obligations under the Commonwealth Disability Discrimination Act 1992 (DDA) which make it unlawful to discriminate against people with disability.

- Registers students on the basis on medical documentation; assesses support requirements; and co-ordinates services.
