Nationally Consistent Collection of Data

The Nationally Consistent Collection of Data on School Students with Disability (NCCD) is an annual process that ensures schools across Australia provide accurate and consistent information about students with disabilities and the support they receive. The Fact Sheet for Parents, Guardians, and Carers offers essential insights into how the NCCD works, why it is conducted, and how it benefits students. It explains that schools identify students who require adjustments to access education on the same basis as their peers and report this data to education authorities. This process helps improve understanding and support for students with disabilities while ensuring compliance with the Disability Discrimination Act 1992.

By participating in the NCCD, schools contribute to a more inclusive education system, ensuring that students with disabilities receive the necessary adjustments to thrive academically. The fact sheet provides clarity on what information is collected, how decisions are made, and the role of parents and guardians in supporting their children’s education.
