Regional Disability Liaison Officers/Disability Coordination Officers
Regional Disability Liaison Officers (RDLOs) and Disability Coordination Officers (DCOs) are funded by the Australian government to help people with a disability to move from school to education and training and then into employment.
These officers help people with a disability by:
- helping to plan courses of study at university or vocational education and training
- providing community services information such as employment services, child care, health services
- helping graduates with a disability to find work.

Work options
Going straight into employment is another pathway that you can think about. There is a range of options from full-time to part-time and temporary positions so you should be able to work out a situation that suits your needs. You might study part-time and work part-time.
The main thing to remember is that people with a disability have the same rights to a fulfilling work life as every other Australian Citizen.

Some information about your rights is available through the Human Rights and Equal Opportunity Commission and the Anti-Discrimination Commission Queensland.
