NCCD - Collection
Nationally Consistent Collection of Data on School Students with Disability (NCCD)
Each year, all Australian schools take part in the Nationally Consistent Collection of Data on School Students with Disability (NCCD). This process helps schools record and report the support they provide to students with disability, in line with the Disability Discrimination Act 1992, the Disability Standards for Education 2005, and the NCCD guidelines (2019).
As part of the NCCD, schools provide the Australian Government with the following information:
- The student’s year level
- The category of disability (physical, cognitive, sensory, or social/emotional)
- The level of adjustment provided (from differentiated teaching to extensive support)
This data helps schools to:
- Acknowledge and review the support given to students with disability
- Strengthen the ways they support these students
- Share and develop good practice across schools to improve learning outcomes
The NCCD also supports government planning for better resources and services for students with disability.
Please note:
- Your child will not be involved in any testing as part of this process
- The data provided is de-identified – no individual student can be identified
- All information is protected by strict privacy laws
