The Neurodivergent Hub helps students who identify as neurodivergent to adapt to university life and find success at UQ.
The Hub offers programs, event and resources for currently enrolled students at UQ. Students do not need a diagnosis to participate in events or programs.
The Neurodivergent Hub provides support, community building, networking skills and development opportunities for students transitioning into tertiary education for the first time, and throughout their undergraduate studies.
Tailored support for neurodivergent students completing postgraduate coursework and research degree(s) will be available in Semester 2 2026.
Tertiary Transition Toolbox (TTT) 
The Tertiary Transition Toolbox (TTT) program is a face-to-face orientation initiative designed to support commencing students who identify as neurodiverse. It focuses on easing the transition to university and providing strategies to thrive academically and socially. This program aims to create an inclusive environment where neurodiverse students feel supported and empowered to succeed.
The program runs over 2 consecutive half-day sessions:
Do I need a formal diagnosis to use these resources?
No, students (incoming or current) do not need to have a formal diagnosis to attend programs or use these resources. Special documentations are not required for Neurodivergent Hub program registrations.
Are these programs available all semester?
Yes, Neurodivergent Hub’s programs are repeated twice a year throughout the academic calendar. Registrations open mid-January 2026 for Semester 1 Programs.
I am a student at another university / am not enrolled at UQ, can I participate in the programs and events of the Neurodivergent Hub?
The Neurodivergent Hub’s programs and events are only open to currently enrolled University of Queensland students (undergraduate & postgraduate). Events held at UQ Open Day and Market Day (Semester 1 & 2) are open to all.
I am starting at UQ for the first time next year, what programs should I sign up for?

I would like assistance with my studies and would like to discuss reasonable adjustments for my coursework. What support is available?
If you have a disability, mental health or medical condition, illness, injury or exceptional circumstance, there are services available to assist you with your studies. These can include student access plans, exam adjustments and extensions. To create adjustments that best suit your needs, you can meet with an Accessibility and Welfare adviser. This can be booked at: Appointment: Accessibility and Welfare Advisers
Please note that medical or specialist documentation will be necessary to bring for your appointment.
I have a calendar clash with my lectures, tutorials and a Neurodivergent Hub program I registered for. How can I ensure I gain the resources, knowledge and skills building from the program?
Students are encouraged to attend as many sessions as they would like and can reasonably fit into their schedule around lectures, tutorials and extracurricular activities. Attendance as a participant is not mandatory but highly recommended.
For some programs, if you miss a couple of sessions, the slides and resources can be made available to you to go over at your own pace. As attendance is taken at each session, students will have to request for these materials for sessions they know they will not be able to attend via neurodivergent@uq.edu.au
I would like to sign up to volunteer for the Neurodivergent Hub. What opportunities do you have available for students?
Current volunteer opportunities are focused on the Mentoring Program. Students can sign-up to be a Mentor for four program streams: Neurodivergent Mentoring (Peer-to-Peer), ADHD Group Coaching, Meet Ups and Neurodivergence and Wellbeing. For more information, see here.
Other types of volunteering opportunities will become available throughout 2026. If you have any questions or would like to express interest to be a Neurodivergent Hub volunteer, please email to neurodivergent@uq.edu.au
