The Disability Action Plan 2007-2011 offers staff and students of the University a succinct statement of the University's goals, strategies and targets for assisting staff and students with a disability over the next few years.
The University of Newcastle's "Working Together Manual" is a great resource for staff who are working with students who have a disability.
