NCCD Facts

The Nationally Consistent Collection of Data on School Students with Disability (NCCD) takes place every year.  The Census date for 2025 is Friday, 1 August 2025.  This is our final date for including students at St Joseph's on the NCCD for 2025/26.

The NCCD is a collection that counts:

• the number of school students receiving an adjustment or ‘help’ 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. 

This ‘help’ allows them to access education on the same basis as a child without disability. The NCCD uses the definition of disability in the Disability Discrimination Act 1992. Schools provide this information to education authorities.

Attached is a Fact Sheet for Parents, Guardians and Carers regarding the NCCD.
