The RDLO, Greater Western Sydney Region, is hosted by the University of Western Sydney's Equity and Diversity Unit. The Equity and Diversity Unit has played a crucial role in the development of this website and without it's contribution, the resource would not be possible.
Russ Weakley of Max Design designed and constructed the 'Get Ready for Uni' website. We are particularly grateful for the high standard of accessibility created by Russ Weakley.
Lisa Herrod of Scenario Seven conducted the accessibility and usability testing of the 'Get Ready for Uni' website.
We are also grateful to the UWS students who allowed their images to be used within the website.
User testing was also conducted by volunteer high school students, university students and graduates. Their input was greatly appreciated.
