What is the National Disability Data Asset (NDDA)?

An icon of a graph representing data. There is a group of people pointing at themselves with their hands raised.

The NDDA will be a new way to link data about people with disability.

When we talk about data, we mean:

A person holding a piece of paper with a tick on it.

  • facts

A person pointing to a clipboard with an information icon on it.

  • information

A folder with the word Records written on it.

  • records.

The NDDA will get the data from:

A group of people reading a document together.

  • different parts of the government

An icon of a survey, with checkboxes and places to write in.

  • surveys.

The NDDA will also get data from organisations that:

A person supporting someone else.

  • work with people with disability

A data icon with an arrow pointing to a government building.

  • give data to the government.

The NDDA will include data about people’s lives, such as:

A group of high school students.

  • school and learning

A person at a fruit and vegetable shop.

  • their work and how they earn money

A person shaking hands with someone else in a suit. There is a government building behind them.

  • what support they get from the government

A health icon.

  • health care.

A folder with Personal written on it, along with an information symbol. There is a lock icon on top of it.

But when the NDDA shares this data, it won’t include people’s personal information.

A person holding a document with an importance symbol on it. There is a disability symbol above them.

The NDDA will help governments understand the outcomes for people with disability.

Outcomes are the important results governments want to get for people with disability.
