The University of Queensland is "...committed to maintaining a diverse and principled scholarly community of outstandingly able and ethical staff and students..." (Strategic Plan 2003-2007).

Accordingly, the University is committed to the principles of equal opportunity and social justice, and supports the rights of people with disabilities to work and study on an equitable basis with other members of the University community in an environment free of harassment or discrimination.

The University's policy complies with the Commonwealth Disability Discrimination Act (1992) and the Queensland Anti-Discrimination Act (1991), which define disability and impairment and also set out the actions (ie, adjustments) that must be undertaken for people with disabilities.

Please visit the Disability resources page on the UQ Equity Office website for details of the services and resources available at the University of Queensland for both staff and students.
