The National Disability Data Asset is an exciting new national initiative for all Australians.
Australian, state and territory governments are working with people with disability and the wider disability community on the National Disability Data Asset. The National Disability Data Asset will bring together de-identified information from different government agencies about all Australians. This will help us to better understand the experiences of people with disability. The National Disability Data Asset will give us more information about programs and services. This will help us to better support people with disability, their families, and carers.
We will use the National Disability Data Asset to:
- give a more complete picture of the programs and services people with disability use
- share information about how we can improve opportunities and outcomes for people with disability
- help governments improve supports and services for people with disability
- improve how we report on outcomes for people with disability under Australia’s Disability Strategy 2021-2031.
You can find more information about privacy, the Council, the Charter and the Pilot Phase in our other pages.
