This report details findings of the [National Centre for Student Equity in Higher Education] NCSEHE-funded project, 'Calculating the costs of supporting people with disability in Australian higher education'. The project sought to investigate how the Australian Government and universities invest to support the inclusion of people with disability in higher education. The study recognised that higher education today enrols many thousands of people with disability, that many students with disability require supports to enable their successful participation, and that institutions have different strategic orientations that may influence disability inclusion.
This investigation aimed to provide: (1) critical information regarding the ways in which institutions support people with disability; (2) a better understanding of how policy incentives might best be focused to support the successful participation of people with disability in Australian higher education; and (3) a rationale to develop a rigorous assessment tool for calculating the full cost of supporting people with disability in higher education. As a result of this research, a number of recommendations are put forward.
