Students who have a permanent or temporary disability, illness and/or specific learning disability that could disadvantage them in demonstrating their knowledge, skills and understandings in standard assessments may have their school apply to the School Curriculum and Standards Authority for them to sit ATAR course examinations under special arrangements. Applications can be made for the written and/or practical examinations.  Application forms must be completed by the school, with supporting information supplied by external consultants where relevant. 

The granting of special examination arrangements is not automatic, but takes into account medical and/or psychometric evidence plus supporting school-based information related to the candidate’s ability to access the examination. The role of special examination arrangements is to provide reasonable access to an examination.  Each application is considered individually, with decisions based on the nature of each examination to be sat by the candidate.

In you are interested in applying for Special Arrangements for ATAR in 2022, please contact Penelope at 9392 6810. 

The application for theoretical examinations are due on Monday, 7 March 2022.

The application for practical examinations are due on Monday, 4 July 2022.
