Australian Council for Educational Research  \nDocumentation Requirements-Guidelines for Reasonable Adjustments  \nOverview  \nThe Australian Council for Educational Research (ACER) is committed to ensuring that test takers with disability or health related needs have fair access to educational assessments. This includes a process to access reasonable adjustments to testing conditions. These reasonable adjustments aim to accommodate a test taker with a disability or health related needs to participate equitably in a test. Please note: As requests are assessed on a case-by-case basis, some adjustments listed may not be relevant to a test taker's personal situation.  \nSome examples of reasonable adjustments are available on the Reasonable Adjustments section of the GAMSAT website at:  \n[https://gamsat.acer.org/register/reasonable-adjustments](https://gamsat.acer.org/register/reasonable-adjustments. These examples are)[. These examples are](https://gamsat.acer.org/register/reasonable-adjustments. These examples are) not exhaustive and should be used for guidance only.  \nImportant information for test takers and medical/health practitioners  \nACER reserves the right to:  \n• request evidence from your medical/health practitioner/s confirming their professional qualifications;  \n• refer your supporting de-identified documentation to its own medical panel for further opinion; and  \n• to seek further evidence from you and/or your medical/health practitioners.  \nInformation for Test Takers  \nGeneral Guidelines  \nThese Guidelines provide information on the documentation that is required to apply for reasonable adjustments for test takers and their medical/ health practitioners. Test takers are encouraged to seek assistance from their medical/health practitioners when collecting documentation. Disability Specific Guidelines relating to mental health or neurodevelopmental disorders can be found at page 3 of this document.  \nDocumentation Requirements  \nTo be eligible for reasonable adjustments, a test taker must provide relevant documentation which includes the following information:  \n• the disability or health related needs;  \n• how and to what degree the test taker's ability to undertake the assessment is affected by their disability or health related need;and  \n• the need and reason for the specific adjustments requested. For example, if additional time to complete the test is being requested, the documentation should state why this is necessary and how this will benefit the test taker.  \nSupporting documentation related to a test taker’s application for reasonable adjustments must:  \n• be from a registered medical/health practitioner on the practitioner's official letterhead;  \n• include the date and title, name, registration number, contact details, and signature of the practitioner; and  \n• not be prepared by a practitioner who is related to the test taker.  \nDisability specific criteria may apply to certain applications. Please refer to Information for Medical/Health Practitioners on page 5 for further details.  \nCriteria for Supporting Documentation  \nThe following criteria for supporting documentation are outlined to assist test takers and their medical/health practitioners in preparing applications for reasonable adjustments. ACER will consider any supporting evidence or information that is submitted in the assessment. Test takers are strongly encouraged to provide information that meets the criteria below. This will allow ACER to make informed assessments in a timely manner.  \nDocumentation provided by test taker applying for reasonable adjustments should, wherever possible, meet the following criteria:  \n1. details of diagnosis including the severity of the condition/disability and associated impairment;  \n2. information including date when the diagnosis was made and the date of professional’s most recent evaluation;  \n3. detailed information regarding the impact of the disability or condition on the test taker’s ability to ","cbCairM17VnKwMnE","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCairM17VnKwMnE","pdf",305585,"English","# Overview\n## Information for Test Takers\n### General Guidelines\n### Documentation Requirements\n### Criteria for Supporting Documentation\n## Disability Specific Guidelines\n### Mental Health Conditions","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of reasonable adjustments for GAMSAT testing?\",\"answer\":\"Reasonable adjustments aim to accommodate test takers with disabilities or health-related needs so they can participate equitably in the assessment under fair conditions.\"},{\"question\":\"What information must documentation include to be eligible for reasonable adjustments?\",\"answer\":\"Documentation must include the disability or health-related needs, how and to what degree the test taker’s ability to undertake the assessment is affected, and the need and reason for the specific adjustments requested.\"},{\"question\":\"What requirements apply to supporting documentation from medical or health practitioners?\",\"answer\":\"Supporting documentation must come from a registered practitioner on official letterhead and include the practitioner’s date, title, name, registration number, contact details, and signature, and it must not be prepared by a practitioner related to the test taker.\"}]","Documentation Requirements - Guidelines for Reasonable Adjustments | PDF",1790756150,13]
