Privacy and Consent
This section explains how your information is used to support your Learning Access Plan.
To help us understand your needs and arrange appropriate support, Accessibility & Inclusion may access relevant information from your student record, such as your enrolment and subjects.
By proceeding, you’re allowing us to share relevant information about your support needs with key University staff where needed to put adjustments in place. This may include relevant staff involved in your subjects and support, the Examinations team if exam support is required, and placement or external providers if support is needed in practical or fieldwork settings. We only share what is necessary to support you.
We are committed to protecting your privacy. Your information is handled confidentially and is used only for the purpose of supporting your studies. It is not included on your academic transcript. You can read more here: https://bond.edu.au/privacy
In most cases, your information is only shared with your knowledge. In limited situations, we may be required to share information without your consent, such as if there are concerns about your safety or the safety of others, or where there is a legal requirement such as a court order. Where possible, we will let you know if this needs to happen.
If you choose to share information about experiences such as sexual assault, harassment, intimate partner violence, and stalking, you are not required to make a formal report and your choices will be respected. If you are under 18, the University may have a legal obligation to report certain information to police. If appropriate, we can also connect you with the Safer Communities team for support.
We may use secure systems to document our conversations and support planning. This may include AI-assisted note-taking tools that generate summaries of meetings. Any recordings or transcripts are not retained, and your information is not used to train AI systems.
Accessibility & Inclusion provides practical support to help you access your studies. If additional support would be helpful, we can connect you with other services within the University or externally.
We will work with you to explore appropriate support options. In some cases, adjustments may be limited by the requirements of your course or learning activities. For example, some group assessments, placements, or practical activities may have specific requirements, and changes to exam dates are not typically part of a Learning Access Plan. If this applies, we will talk this through with you and explore available options together.
