Your Special Consideration Application needs to be supported by documentary evidence at the time of submission. This may include:
- Original supporting documentation
- A Medical Certificate
- A Completed Professional Authority Form
- Appropriate documentary evidence for non-medical circumstances.
The professional authority form must be completed and signed by:
- A registered medical practitioner
- A registered psychologist or registered counsellor
- A minister of religion (if religious commitments have affected your ability to do assessments)
- Your employer (if you’re in active services).
Attach documentation, such as a medical report, death notice or certificate, police report or statutory declaration to this form. Clearly state the severity and period of illness in the professional authority section. If you have documentation in language other than English, please also include an English version translated by a certified NAATI translator. We can’t accept backdated medical certificates, receipts for medical fees, or medical certificates from non-registered practitioners.
The Student Success Adviser will keep your documentation in a confidential file.
