To mark Carer's Week (October 13-19) we will be advocating for better education about and access to reasonable adjustments. Note that this will be held earlier than the week as a reasonable adjustment itself.

Target audience: UQ staff with caring responsibilities and/or disabilities, staff who manage other staff, and staff who teach students.

Please note that the Neurodivergent Staff Network will be running a separate session for staff who identify as neurodivergent in November. Some staff may find that session more relevant to their needs.

This workshop will cover the following:

What are reasonable adjustments for staff and students with disabilities and caring responsibilities?
Why are these important, and what laws and UQ policies dictate their application?
What is a reasonable versus an unreasonable adjustment?
What types of adjustments are there, and how do you implement/ask for them?
What support is there for providing or requesting adjustments?

Presented by Barbora Jedlickova and Brooke Szucs of the UQ TC Beirne School of Law.
