The Australian Government Department of Education (Department) has worked with Children and Young People with Disability Australia (CYDA) to co-design a new range of resources to help young people with disability and their parents and caregivers to understand their rights under the Disability Standards for Education 2005 (Standards).

The resources provide easy-to-use information about the Standards and offer practical advice on how to navigate the education system.

There are four new resources:

• Explaining the Disability Standards for Education – this resource outlines what the Standards are and what they are designed to do.
• Milestones and Transitions – this resource is to help students and their parents and caregivers make their way through their education journey.
• Advocating with and for your child: Primary School – this resource is for parents and caregivers of primary school students.
• Disability Standards for Education in Practice: Action Plan – this resource is for students who are in high school or tertiary education.
