The Disability Standards for Education 2005 outline the rights of students and children with disability, and the obligations of education providers to support them under the Disability Discrimination Act 1992. Under the Standards, children with disability have the right to:

• access and meaningfully participate in education services
• receive reasonable adjustments
• be protected from mistreatment.

More information about the Standards can be found on our website.
