Gender, Disability, and Other Cross-Cutting Issues
AAI seeks to attract eligible applicants from a broad and diverse range of backgrounds. To support
diversity, AAI encourages eligible applications from people with disabilities, people from AAI Equity Target
Provinces, and other disadvantaged groups. AAI’s Gender, Disability, and Social Inclusion Strategy
adopts an approach that considers multiple identities, seeks to address potential discrimination points, and
favours solutions that are aligned with the concept of intersectionality when possible.
DFAT strongly encourages applications from people with disability who are otherwise eligible for a
Scholarship. Under the Disability Discrimination Act, Australian education institutions have to provide
'reasonable adjustments' to students with disability to assist access to study. To assess the likely support
M
needs, appropriate assistance, and the capacity of relevant institutions to provide the assistance,
awardees with a disability/special need must provide details of the disability and/or special need when they
accept their offer. This information is bound by Australian privacy laws and will be disclosed only for the
R
purpose of facilitating an accessible barrier-free learning environment.
Modifications to physical or learning environments, including additional educational supports such as sign
FO
interpreters and captioning, may be available depending on the relevant institution's capacity. DFAT will
advise the institution of any special requirements associated with an Awardee so that the institution can
pass these details to the institution’s Disability Liaison Officer prior to the Awardee arriving on-campus.
Where an institution is not able to provide the assistance requested, other institutions may be
recommended.
Hearing and Speaking - to communicate with others do you require or use any specific assistance?
(For example, hearing aids, sign language interpreter, lip reading, other communication assistive
device or additional time.)
PR
Writing and Reading - to access information and communicate using written materials do you
require or use any specific assistance? (For example, large print, Braille, computer software (e.g.
Jaws), lap top/computer, someone to transcribe for you, or additional time.)
If you use an assistive device, please tell us what kind of device it is and/or if you have ever used a
different type of device.
