What is a Mail
list?
A Mail list is a specifically designed mailgroup that is accessed via
the e-mail system. The Mailgroup is made up of those who subscribe to
the list. A Mail list operates as a central basis for the distribution
of messages. These messages will only be circulated via e-mail to those
who have subscribed to the mail list.
Who is eligible
to subscribe to the NSW Disability Mail list?
The NSW Disability
Mail list was established for TAFE and University Disability Service
Providers. Successful subscription to the Mail list is determined by
the Mail list Administrator, on behalf of the DEAN Council. The Administrators
role is to ensure that the subscriber is a practitioner who provides
educational access services for people with a disability in NSW and
ACT universities and TAFE Institutes. The Administrator will subsequently
process each request for subscription on to the Mail list.
If a request for
subscription is made from a person outside the definition of a practitioner
who provides educational access services for people with a disability
in NSW and ACT universities and TAFE Institutes, the subscription will
be upheld and referred to the DEAN Council for the decision making process.
