Accessibility Action Plan development

The University is currently developing a new Accessibility Action Plan (AAP).

The AAP is a strategic document that outlines the University's commitment and actions to improve accessibility and the inclusion of students and staff with disability. The AAP aims to ensure that WSU is a place where everyone can thrive in a safe, supportive, inclusive learning and working environment.

Equity and Diversity want to hear from each part of our University community and we would like to invite Western staff with disability to participate in this important project. Your participation will help us to understand current challenges and needs, as well as the opportunities and solutions for creating an inclusive and accessible environment for students and staff with disability at WSU.

You can join an online focus group discussion with other staff and there will be an opportunity to complete a survey.

Accessibility Action Plan - Staff Survey

We would like to invite you to complete a short survey.

This survey is for all WSU staff with disability and seeks to identify the effectiveness of, and satisfaction with, current access and inclusion practices at WSU and potential areas of improvement.  This survey is anonymous, and participation is voluntary.

If you need this survey in another format, or you’d prefer to provide feedback via phone or in writing, please email equityanddiversity@westernsydney.edu.au for assistance.

The survey will be open until midnight on 19th December 2023
