Adjustments requiring NESA approval
Types of adjustments
Applications for NAPLAN 2025 adjustments requiring NESA approval will open in Term 4, 2024.
Schools must submit their applications for the following adjustments via Schools Online:
Alternative format
Unsecured browser use
Additional support
Alternative format test – Braille test material
Paper-based tests designed for braille users.
Alternative format test – Large print test material (A4 N18; A4 N24; A3 N18; A3 N24; A3 N36)
Paper-based tests designed for students with a vision impairment that means they cannot use the online tests.
Alternative format test – Electronic (PDF) test material
PDF-based tests designed for students working above font size N36 who cannot use the online tests or paper-based large print test material.
Alternative format test – Black and white test material
Paper-based tests that may be photocopied onto coloured paper. This is for students who are unable to use the online tests with the Colour theme or Colour contrast modification adjustments.
Assistive technology
Students may work outside the NAP locked down browser (NAP LDB) to use their own assistive technology. Approval is only given to technology that does not interfere with the validity of the test.
Colour contrast modification
Students may work outside the NAP LDB to use their own software to modify the colour of their screen.
Double extra time
In exceptional circumstances, students may get extra test time. This is usually for students with disability who use assistive technology and that technology increases the time or effort needed to access test materials or use the platform.
Scribe
Students with a physical disability who regularly work with a scribe in the classroom may work with a scribe to complete the writing test. Students and scribes must follow the NAPLAN scribe rules.
