learning, during and after. Parents can contact their child’s teacher at

any time to discuss their child’s progress and report.

Nationally Consistent Collection of

Data on School Students with

Disability (NCCD)

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. These relate to legislative

requirements under the Disability Discrimination

Act 1992 and the Disability Standards for

Education 2005, in line with the NCCD

guidelines (2019).

Information provided about students to the

Australian Government for the NCCD includes:

year of schooling

category of disability: physical, cognitive,

sensory or social/emotional

level of adjustment provided: support

provided within quality differentiated

teaching practice, supplementary, substantial

or extensive.

This information assists schools to:

formally recognise the supports and

adjustments provided to students with

disability in schools

consider how they can strengthen the

support of students with disability in schools

develop shared practices so that they can

review their learning programs in order to

improve educational outcomes for students

with disability.

The NCCD provides state and federal

governments with the information they need to

plan more broadly for the support of 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.

All information is protected by privacy laws that

regulate the collection, storage and disclosure of

personal information. To find out more about

these matters, please refer to the Australian

Government’s Privacy Policy

(https://www.education.gov.au/privacy-policy).

Further information about the NCCD can be

found on the NCCD Portal

(https://www.nccd.edu.au).

If you have any questions about the NCCD,

please contact the school.
