The Disability Standards for Education

Know your rights

CYDA has been working with the Australian Government to develop a series of resources to help students with disability, their families and their caregivers to understand their rights in the education system. 

These resources were co-designed by young people with disability and their families and are available in Easy Read, Auslan and community languages Arabic, Korean, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Hindi, Vietnamese, Persian, and Khmer.  

PDF Cover of the guide to the disability standards for education with blue and green curvy shapes and a graphic of a group of people talking including a man in a wheelchair.

Getting started

Guides and tools to help you if you are new to disability rights or to the Australian education system.

These resources explain key parts of the Disability Standards for Education. They have information and personal stories to help you in your own life.

Organising supports in education

Tools and workbooks to help you advocate for yourself, or for your child, and organise support in the Australian education system.

These resources cover a student’s journey from early childhood through to TAFE or university.
