NCCD – National Consistent Collection of Data on School Students with Disability
At St. Kevin's, we are currently preparing for the 2026 Nationally Consistent Collection of Data on School Students with Disability (NCCD).
What is the NCCD?
The NCCD gathers information about students with disability who receive additional support at school. This support helps them take part in learning alongside their peers. Teachers work collaboratively with parents, carers and, where appropriate, the student to determine the reasonable adjustments and support required. Each year, schools must report this information to the Australian Government.
Why is the NCCD important?
The NCCD helps schools and governments better understand how to support students with disabilities. It also helps with planning and funding to ensure students get the help they need.
How is the information used?
- To demonstrate how schools support students with disability.
- To inform education planning and policy development.
- To ensure schools meet their legal obligations under the Disability Discrimination Act.
- Information provided to the Australian Government does not include students' names or personal identifying information.
How does the NCCD help our school?
The NCCD helps us:
- Recognise and record the support we give students.
- Understand our students’ needs more clearly.
- Improve our learning and support practices.
- Strengthen teachers' knowledge and skills in planning and implementing adjustments for students.
As part of this process, we are meeting with parents and carers through Student Support Group meetings to review the adjustments and support students receive. This information contributes to our school's NCCD submission in August 2026.
For more information about the NCCD, please refer to the attached information sheets or contact the school if you have any questions.
