The Disability Collective provides a mutually supportive and caring community to welcome students with disability into QUT and provide the connections and resources needed to make sure we all have equitable access to education and opportunities at university. Any QUT student who has a disability, chronic illness and/or mental health condition may join the Disability Collective through our private Facebook group, linked below. This group is where students may share experiences, seek advice, and provide resources to each other. https://www.facebook.com/groups/qutguilddisabilitycollective
The group is private and closed to disabled students only, so people outside the group cannot see who is in it. We ask that abled/non-disabled people instead follow this page and our Instagram, , to learn more about disability and how to combat ableism in society. We're always on the lookout for students willing to get involved. Initiatives such as sharing experiences for our awareness-raising posts, helping host events, and many other goals are something available to all students. You don't need to be on our executive team to request funding for an initiative; you can contact any of the below people for more information on how to fund your ideas for improving the university experience for disabled students.
