ANU Disabilities Student Association (DSA) is undertaking an Ableism Report into current and past experiences of ableism in educational settings at the ANU. This report aims to understand the prevalence, severity, and frequency of ableism in an educational setting, and how experiences of ableism vary at ANU by college. Responses to this survey will be analysed by the 2026 DSA committee and ANUSA staff to inform the findings and recommendations of the first Ableism Report, which will be published and presented to the University, the ANUSA, and leadership staff in Academic Colleges at the ANU. This survey is intended for current ANU students.
Part 1 of this survey aims to capture the prevalence, severity, and frequency of ableism generally at the ANU. You only need to complete this survey once. If you would like to share your experiences of ableism with specific classes, fill out Part 2 of the form.
Currently, the 2026 Survey only focuses on ableism within teaching environments. Other areas, such as student experience services and accommodation, may be explored in future surveys.
Both parts of the survey will close at 11:59pm on July 5th
The data that the DSA collects and uses from this survey will be used and presented in the 2026 Ableism Report which the DSA will publish publicly. Data will be anonymised and de-identified. We will do our best to protect your confidentiality but may not be able to guarantee it. There is no guarantee that the data you provide us will be included within the report.
Please do not share any personally identifiable information about yourself or others in your response. Please do not include any names, emails, identifiable incidents that can be attributed to persons. Where possible, use titles or roles for the person, but we may need to amend or take out any identifiable data to prevent any inadvertent defamation.
The amount of questions in this part of the survey that you fill is up to you. You can choose to share experiences with a college in regards to their culture, attitudes towards disability, and EAP compliance.
If you have questions or concerns, please see the Report FAQs post or contact the DSA co-officers.
