Ah okay. Sarah was already diagnosed for a good couple of years by then.
You will have a letter from the GP and GI, yeah?
I also had the GP's surgery count up all the visits she had had in the previous twelve months, I knew the amount of GI visits. I also added blood draws and other tests to that list.
I then ensured that it was emphasised the disease had a significant impact on her day to day functioning due to fatigue and the reasons for that fatigue. In my Sarah's case it was disrupted sleep and eating patterns plus anaemia.
@Joshuaaa - Sarah didn't end up needing it but for the exam results it mean't that it may mean the difference between getting into a course and not getting in. Universities will have the EAS open to many of their courses, courses available under the scheme differ from uni to uni. So if Sarah missed out a course by say two marks because her TER was say 85 instead of 87 then if the uni offered 3 extra marks under the EAS she would eligible. It doesn't change your TER just your course eligibility for that uni.
We also had the added advantage that we are rural/remote so there are extra marks there too if needed but we didn't need those either.
It also automatically flags you to the Student Disability Office of the university you accept an offer to.
The scheme in NSW is operated by UAC (Universities Admission Centre)
