What is NCCD?
Add your college's plain-language summary here. Generally: NCCD is an annual Australian Government data collection that requires schools to identify students receiving adjustments for disability and record the level of adjustment, category of disability, and level of adjustment provided — replace with your own wording and any BCE-specific guidance.
What this means for you as a teacher
- Example: Identify students in your classes who receive an educational adjustment
- Example: Keep evidence of adjustments provided (e.g. differentiated tasks, modified assessment)
- Example: Record adjustments in the required system by the census date
- Example: Attend NCCD moderation meetings when requested
The four categories of adjustment
Quality Differentiated Teaching Practice
Adjustments a teacher makes routinely within normal classroom practice — no additional resourcing required.
Supplementary
Additional support beyond QDTP, supplied at times, in a way that's additional or adjusted to that provided to the general classroom cohort.
Substantial
Highly individualised support provided most of the time, involving a level of intensity beyond what's typically available.
Extensive
Highly individualised, intensive, and ongoing support provided most or all of the time to access education on the same basis as peers.
How to record adjustments
NCCD data is recorded through Engage — it has dedicated NCCD workflows for the Commonwealth census. If you haven't used this part of Engage yet, see the Engage page for login details and reach out to your NCCD Coordinator.
