NCCD

The Nationally Consistent Collection of Data on School Students with Disability (NCCD) takes place every year. The NCCD is a collection that counts:

  • The number of school students receiving an adjustment due to disability.
  • The level of adjustment they are receiving to access education on the same basis as other students. 
  • Students are counted in the NCCD if they receive ongoing adjustments at school due to disability allowing them to access education on the same basis as a child without disability.
