Kirsten, one of our Disability Advisors, always keeps me up-to-date with opportunities for students with disabilities.
This is the latest one to come through. I’ve reproduced it below in basically the exact same format as it came through to my email.
Many of the opportunities for students with disabilities come through the Australian Network on Disability (AND). If you want to hear about these opportunities before everyone else and lord over them with your superiority, I suggest subscribing to the AND newsletter.
Please note the tight deadline – 15th April.
