Every year, all schools in Australia participate in the Nationally Consistent Collection of Data on School Students with Disability (NCCD). 

 

The NCCD process requires schools to identify information already available in the school about supports provided to students with disability. The NCCD will have no direct impact on your child and your child will not be involved in any testing process. 

 

The school will provide data to the Australian Government in such a way that no individual student will be able to be identified – the privacy and confidentiality of all students is ensured.
