The Nationally Consistent Collection of Data (NCCD) on all school students across Australia with disability is an annual, compulsory collection that counts the number of school students receiving an adjustment due to disability and the level of reasonable adjustment they are receiving. Students with learning difficulties, such as dyslexia or auditory processing disorder, as well as chronic health conditions like epilepsy or diabetes, that require monitoring and the provision of adjustments by the school, may be included.
The national data collection counts students who have been identified by the school team as receiving an adjustment to address a disability as defined under the Disability Discrimination Act 1992.
Every year the following information for
each student receiving an adjustment due to disability is collected:
- The student’s level of education (i.e. primary or secondary)
- The student’s level of adjustment
- The student’s broad type of disability
The information collected is available to
all governments to inform policy and program improvement for students with
disability.
Protecting the privacy and confidentiality
of all students and their families is essential. Personal details, such as student names or
other identifying information are not provided to local or federal education
authorities.

Catholic Education works on an ‘opt out’ system in regard to the NCCD. Parents/Guardians wising their student’s
details not to be included in the NCCD collection are to advise Mr Gallen in
writing by 9th July, 2017.
If you require further information about
the NCCD, a fact sheet can be collected from the school office or at https://docs.education.gov.au/system/files/doc/other/2017_-_nccd_-_fact_sheet_for_parents_and_carers_v5.pdf .
