If you are the primary carer of a child or dependent with a disability, the Disability Resource Centre (DRC) will need supporting documentation from your dependent’s health professional. Supporting documentation can be in the form of a letter from the GP, hospital, specialist or other registered healthcare professional and will need to be submitted when you register with the DRC.
Your Disability Liaison Officer (DLO) will then work with you to discuss any reasonable adjustments that can be put in place to support you in your studies as you juggle your role as carer and student.
