Upload supporting document(s)

To register with UniAccess, you must complete this registration form and provide supporting medical documentation. We require documentation so we can recommend appropriate reasonable adjustments.

Acceptable documentation includes:

A completed Health Practitioner's Form
A letter or report from a treating health professional or specialist
Other relevant medical documentation that confirms your condition and outlines its functional impact on your studies

Important: all documentation, including the Health Practitioner's Form, must be completed and signed by a suitably qualified clinician who is able to diagnose the condition. For example, a GP cannot provide a formal diagnosis of ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), or a Specific Learning Disability (SLD). Documentation for these conditions must be completed by an appropriately qualified specialist.

For details about the documentation required for specific conditions, please refer to the documentation guidelines.

If you do not currently have documentation, or are unable to obtain it, please contact UniAccess at (+61 8) 6488 4630 or uniaccess@uwa.edu.au. We will discuss your situation and advise you on available options.
