Australasian Network of Students with Disabilities (ANSWD)
Information Sheet 2009


The Australasian Network of Students with Disabilities (ANSWD), formed at the Pathways 5 Conference in Canberra in early December 2000, is a student organisation, which advocates, promotes and campaigns on disability issues in the tertiary education field.

ANSWD aims to promote an equitable learning environment for all students. It is comprised of tertiary students with disabilities who are dedicated to ensuring equitable access to education by working together with staff at educational institutions throughout Australia and New Zealand.

ANSWD has an e-mail discussion list for students with disabilities, primarily designed to share information and discuss issues relevant to students with disabilities, education and employment. If you are a student with a disability whom is either studying at TAFE or University, or you are a potential tertiary student with a disability, who plans to commence tertiary studies in the following year we strongly encourage you to join the ANSWD discussion list. For more information about the discussion list go to http://www.answd.org/discussion.html

To subscribe to the mailing list send an e-mail to majordomo@postoffice.utas.edu.au with 'subscribe answd-list' somewhere in the message (without quotes).

If you are a member of the ANSWD discussion list and wish to send a message to the discussion list address the e-mail to answd-list@postoffice.utas.edu.au

The discussion list will only receive e-mails from members.

Goals of the discussion list include:
· To encourage information sharing amongst students with disabilities
· To facilitate friendships amongst students with disabilities from Australia and New Zealand
· To encourage students to be proud of their disability and achieve anything and everything they dream of.
