About us
Access and Equity plays a key role in the shared strategic goal of progressing equity, diversity and inclusion at Edith Cowan University. The area is responsible for providing high quality services to students, delivering enabling programs, and embedding evidenced-based equitable and inclusive practice across the institution.

The Access and Inclusion team provides expert support for students and staff in the management, administration and coordination of student equity, diversity and disability services.

The Accessibility Adviser also collaboratively develops and delivers coordinated group/cohort programs to enhance student success in higher education, as well as promoting the adoption of inclusive practice and universal design principles throughout the student lifecycle.

Working within a high functioning team, the Accessibility Adviser is expected to actively contribute to a quality student service culture, actively promote collaboration and information exchange within and across teams, maintain timely, accurate and complete records using administrative systems, and maintain knowledge of current best practice in the equity and disability fields.

The position has responsibility for monitoring compliance of equal opportunity legislation in the provision of services to students.
