National Consistent Collection of Data
Diverse Learning – 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.
For more information on the NCDD please refer to the NCCD Fact Sheet;
