Disability Transition Support
The Disability Transition Support Officer (DTSO) at Box Hill Institute plays a vital role in supporting students with disabilities, health conditions, or mental health challenges as they navigate the transition into vocational education and training.
The DTSO focuses on easing the shift from secondary school, community, or other learning environments by providing personalised guidance, coordinating reasonable adjustments, and connecting students with appropriate support services. The DTSO works closely with students, families, and educators to foster confidence, independence, and success in the TAFE setting.
If you have a diagnosed disability and/or health condition and are planning on moving from secondary education to TAFE at BHI, reach out to the DTSO by emailing als@boxhill.edu.au
