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.
