Other Technologies
Other Assistive Technologies, like Zoom Text and JAWS are available on a case-by-case basis. Access to these technologies will be arranged in collaboration with Work Health Safety & Wellbeing who offer support to staff with a disability or chronic health condition.
We also have a list of assistive technologies grouped by general function. Some are licensed by the University and you will need to submit a Software Access Request form to use. Others are offered as alternatives you are able to access independently and even take with you after you've moved on from the University.
Personalised support
Personalised support may be available for staff. If you would like to contact us about support options, please follow the procedures outlined below.
- If you are a staff member with a disability or chronic health condition, and you would like an assistive technology assessment or reasonable workplace adjustment put in place, please speak with the team at Work Health Safety & Wellbeing before contacting us.
- If you are seeking to make use of one of the available technologies for other reasons, like assisting with transcription of meeting minutes, then please email your requirements directly to us at atspecialist@westernsydney.edu.au or book in for a short AT Consultation and have a chat with us.
