Assistance animals on campus

Assistance animals on campus

Assistance animals can be a great help to people with a disability, including vision or hearing loss, or another physical disability.

These specially trained animals are recognised under the Disability Discrimination Act 1992 and must be given full access to public facilities. This includes RMIT campuses.

RMIT’s Assistance Animals on Campus process (PDF 310 KB) details how RMIT will meet its obligations to the Act and keep our community safe. 

The process specifically covers:

  • Guide dogs for the visually impaired 
  • Guide dogs for the hearing impaired
  • Assistance dogs/animals for other disabilities, including epilepsy, post-traumatic stress disorder or autism.
