DEAN - Disability Education Association NSW/ACT Inc.

Welcome to the DEAN website

Disability Education Association of NSW/ACT (DEAN) is a professional association established to represent the interests of staff and students in the post-secondary sector. DEAN provides members with opportunities for cross-sectoral collaboration, a forum for professional development and networking, collection & dissemination of information, one voice to promote political and social aspects of the unique and collective interests of all the constituents, and promoting the enhancement of access to education for people with disabilities. 

Members receive:

  • voting rights and the right to stand for office;
  • access to an email list server for practitioners; 
  • information gathering and dissemination;
  • discounts on PD Days and forums ($50 instead of $70 in 2010);
  • access to the Members only area section on the website (login required) containing PD Day presentations, handouts, resources, and much more.

For further information please visit the Membership page.


Professional development day fees:

Our fees to date have not covered the full costs of running our PD Days. This is no longer sustainable, and our 2009 Annual General Meeting approved the following fees for 2010:

Members: $50
Non Members: $70

We believe our PD is still the best value around. Please let us know if you have concerns about this.
Only current paid-up members are eligible for the members' rate for PD days.

I hope to see you in 2010!

Regards,

Geoff Maddox
