Verifying your disability
If you've been diagnosed with a mental health condition, please provide a letter of verification from your GP or a registered professional.
If you don’t have a diagnosis but think there is something that is impacting your study and causing you difficulties, you can talk with your GP or an AUT counsellor or mental health advisor – this is not a diagnostic service, but if you're seeking a diagnosis, the advisor will guide you through the process.
