Vocational Education and Training Disability Support Service - VDSS

The Vocational Education and Training Disability Support Service (VDSS) provides support for eligible students with a disability who are undertaking off-the-job training funded by the Queensland Department of Education and Training. This service includes:

assessment of the student's learning support requirements
adaptive equipment, and training in its use (software, ergonomic furniture etc)
personal support services (sign language interpreters, specialist support workers, notetakers etc).

The amount of support provided will vary and is based on individual requirements. There is no cost to the student or the training provider.

Disability officers or staff responsible for coordinating services for leaners with a disability at registered training organisations need to complete an application form and relevant attachments on behalf of the applicant and forward to the Vocational Education and Training Disability Support Service. For more information, or help completing the forms please email vdss.itps@deta.qld.gov.au.

Personal information remains confidential, only accessed by the training provider and the Vocational Education and Training Disability Support Service.
