National Disability Data Asset Partners

Partners

The Department of Social Services, in partnership with the Australian Bureau of Statistics and Australian Institute of Health and Welfare are leading this phase of the National Disability Data Asset. The Australian Government is working closely with state and territory governments, people with disability and the wider disability community to deliver the National Disability Data Asset.

The Council

The National Disability Data Asset Council (the Council) will provide recommendations on the strategic direction of the disability data asset to the Disability Reform Ministerial Council. The role of the Council will be to make sure the disability data asset is used correctly. The Council will also make sure it is only used for the things that governments and the wider disability community have agreed to.
