NCCD – Nationally Consistent Collection of Data

At St Fidelis, we are currently preparing for the 2025 National Consistent Collection of Data on School Students with Disability (NCCD).

What is the NCCD?

The NCCD is a nationwide initiative that collects information about students who require additional support at school. This support can be for physical, learning, sensory, social, or emotional needs. This support helps ensure that all students can access and participate in their learning on the same basis as their peers.

Each year, all schools are required to provide data to the Australian Government about the adjustments they make to support students with additional learning needs or a disability.  As part of the process, we are required to submit the types of adjustments we make as a school, along with the areas of need for our students. Please note that we do not collect or disclose any personal or identifying information (such as student names) during this process. 

Why is the NCCD important?

The NCCD helps:

• Recognise and document the support schools provide.
• Understand the needs of students with disability more clearly.
• Improve school practices and teaching approaches.
• Ensure schools meet their legal obligations under the Disability Discrimination Act 1992 and the Disability Standards for Education 2005.

How does it help our school?

Through the NCCD process, St Fidelis can:

• Better understand how to support students with disability.
• Record the adjustments and supports provided.
• Continue improving teacher practices in supporting student learning.
• Strengthen collaboration between school staff, students, and families.
