Where is the support for students with disabilities???

I have been with STADIO for six years trying to complete my degree. I am a type 1 diabetic who has recieved no support. I have paid countless second opportunitiy fee's and have been treated like ****. In my third year i asked if i could transfer credits so that I could move universities as I am not being supported with my disability however, they don't allow for credits to be transferred. I am nearly done and my mental and physical health actually can't take it anymore. In the past week I have had issues where I couldn't access images on a test and was told to retake a test by a lecturer who literally said herself there is only one opportunity for the test. That was her honest response. Another thing I encounted was EBSCOHOST training was available but during 12 midday, I asked if there was a way to access it due to being at work and I just got no response. I also put through a ticket both on Q desk and the new platform for enquiries and haven't heard anything. That is our direct line to STADIO and I'm hearing crickets. I've resigned jobs, been in ICU and have experienced adverse effects due to STADIO and I am very close to reporting them to the Department of Higher Education and Training. They act as if I am a student who doesn't care. If I didn't care, why would I be still paying almost 30k in school fees and constantly tackling this degree despite the effects it has on my physical health. I am a distant learner who has also worked in schools and I had a graduated contact learner the other day ask me what they should do for reading club and another on how to laminate. Basic skills all teachers should know and I wanted to actually cry because what is the point of this degree??? I have been hired by every school I have done my teaching practical afterwards and love what I do but because of my challenges I just can't finish my degree with the lack of support.
