AMEB Qld is committed to providing inclusive and quality examinations for all candidates, including those with disabilities. We aim to provide all candidates with access to the examination process, so they can demonstrate their skills to the best of their ability to ensure they participate on the same basis as their similar-aged peers. AMEB Qld provides an environment that is safe, supportive and free from discrimination.
While AMEB Qld provides reasonable adjustments tailored to meet their individual needs, all candidates will be assessed against the same examining standards as set out in the
Manual of Syllabuses.
AMEB Qld must be advised of the candidate's individual needs in writing at the time of enrolment on the enrolment form, or as soon as practicable after that time if a condition becomes apparent or worsens.
To ensure AMEB Qld has up-to-date information, a description of individual needs must be submitted with every enrolment. Additionally, medical documentation of the candidate’s diagnosis must be provided to AMEB Qld on enrolment.
The only exception to this rule is where the candidate’s needs are not likely to change from 1 exam year to another. In this instance, provision of the original supporting documentation at enrolment will suffice.
Please note: AMEB Qld cannot retain personal documentation on file.
At the time of enrolment, the candidate (if they are over 18 years) or their parent/guardian must confirm, by ticking the relevant box, on the enrolment form that they give permission for the candidate's individual needs to be provided to the examiner and other relevant AMEB Qld staff.
Visual impairment
Practical examination candidates with vision impairments have the option of completing either sight-reading for the grade they are completing, or aural tests from one grade higher. If candidates choose to undertake the sight-reading, a number of procedures will apply. Please contact the AMEB Qld State Office for more information on these procedures.
Written examination candidates with vision impairments should contact the AMEB Qld State Office to discuss their requirements and reasonable adjustments.
