Nationally Consistent Collection of Data on School Students with Disability (NCCD)

What is the 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 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.

Why is this Data Being Collected?

All schools in Australia must collect information about students with disability. The NCCD:

  • ensures that the information collected is transparent, consistent and reliable
  • provides better information that improves understanding of students with disability
  • allows parents, guardians, carers, teachers, principals, education authorities and government to better support students with disability.

What are the Benefits of the NCCS for Students?

The information collected by the NCCD helps teachers, principals, education authorities and governments to better support students with disability at school. The NCCD encourages schools to review their learning and support systems and processes. This helps schools to continually improve education outcomes for all students.

If you have any questions about the data collection, please contact Lucy Thiel on 8862 0600. Further information can be found at: https://www.nccd.edu.au/wider-support-materials/parent-guardian-or-carer-what-do-i-need-know
