Disclosure

We understand disclosing a disability or health condition can be challenging and is a personal choice. We want you to know that the Student Accessibility and Inclusion Team has one goal - to help you thrive while you study at UOW. We do it in a confidential and supportive way.

If you are unsure about the benefits of disclosure at any point in your study program, including enrolment, you can contact us, a Student Support Coordinator, or the Counselling Service for confidential information and advice.

For more information on disclosure, refer to information developed by the Australian Disability Clearinghouse on Education and Training.

Privacy

UOW uses a third party provider Symplicity under contractual agreement for the collection and management of information through the UOW Access Portal. UOW remains committed to protecting your privacy.  Further information can be found on UOW’s privacy page. If you have any questions or concerns regarding the use of the UOW Access Portal, please email student-access@uow.edu.au.
