Nationally Consistent Collection of Data (NCCD)

The national data collection is designed to complement and reinforce the legislative requirements that apply to all Australian schools and education institutions under the Disability Discrimination Act 1992 (DDA) and the Disability Standards for Education 2005 (DSE). All schools and approved authorities for schools in Australia participate in the NCCD annually.
