NCCD Update

Each year, all Australian schools take part in the Nationally Consistent Collection of Data on School Students with Disability (NCCD). This helps the government understand how many students with disability are in schools and the kinds of support they need to learn alongside their peers. The NCCD takes place in August each year.

When Your Child is Diagnosed with a Disability

A new diagnosis can feel overwhelming, but it’s an important step in understanding your child’s needs. With the right support and guidance, your child can continue to grow, learn and reach their potential. Information on support for families & carers can be found here. Please remember to share the diagnosis with the school as this will assist us in understanding and supporting your child.

NDIS

What is the NDIS?

The NDIS (National Disability Insurance Scheme) helps children and adults with a disability get the support they need to reach their goals and take part in everyday life.

Who can access it?

If your child has a significant and ongoing disability, they may be able to access NDIS funding.

How do we get started?

You can find out more or check if your child is eligible by visiting www.ndis.gov.au or calling 1800 800 110. See factsheets here.
