Students with mental health conditions

We support students who have a mental health diagnosis and acknowledge that there is a range of mental health difficulties that may be lessened with a suitable academic accommodation plan.

Types of support for students with mental health conditions

You can access:

• Information on disability-related issues
• Support to discuss your individual needs with lecturers and academic departments
• Strategies for accessing lecture content and notes
• Help to manage your study load

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.
