Victoria University is committed to equal opportunity, cultural diversity and social inclusion.
We value our diverse university community and strive to create a supportive environment that enables access and promotes inclusion.
Accessibility
VU strives to be a leader in inclusivity and accessibility. We guide and support students to achieve their career aspirations through personalised, flexible and well-supported learning opportunities.
Our fourth accessibility action plan outlines our commitment to removing barriers to access and participation for students with a health condition or disability. It focusses on five action areas:
- culture of inclusiveness
- student support & engagement
- learning and teaching
- physical access
- digital information and services.
