The Library aims to provide online and physical environments in which all clients can access information, resources and services.

We work closely with the University's Access and Disability Service to ensure the needs of students with an Education Inclusion Plan (EIP) are met. Items in the University collection may be available to academic staff and students with disability to adjust formatting for accessible use.

If you need assistance on an ongoing basis and think you are eligible, please contact the ACU Access and Disability Service. You can meet with an Access and Disability Advisor to determine your needs.

Also find information about low sensory retreats (for rest and relaxation – not study) and the Hidden Disabilities Sunflower initiative.

Accessibility software

Available for all students and staff to use at university or at home.

Read&Write

A literacy support tool that helps with everyday tasks like reading text out loud, understanding unfamiliar words, researching assignments and proofing written work. Available on all library computers, and free to download for students and staff.
