Career & disability appointments for UQ students
UQ Students with a disability can access an on-campus (St Lucia) appointment with an employability specialist. Please book appointments for a Career & Disability Appointment directly through StudentHub.
Initial appointments are conducted in person at Student Services (building 21D) with flexible follow up appointments conducted either in person, over the telephone or via skype. The specialist consultant is based at the St Lucia campus each Thursday and is hosted by the Careers Service.
