Modifications to physical or learning environments, including additional educational supports such as sign

interpreters and captioning, may be available depending on the relevant Institution's capacity. AusAID

will advise the Institution of any special requirements associated with an Awardee so that the Institution

can pass these details to the Institutions Disability Liaison Officer prior to the Awardee arriving on-

campus. Where an Institution is not able to provide the assistance requested, other Institutions may be

recommended.
