The government has worked with community and disability experts to create the first set of disability indicators.
Disability indicators are community supported ways of measuring disability in the National Disability Data Asset.
The indicators will be improved and added to as more data are added to the National Disability Data Asset.
Researchers can request access to these indicators to create insights of benefit to people with disability and the wider disability community.
The first disability indicators include people that receive disability-related government payments and services.
The first set of indicators do not include all people with disability in Australia.
Future indicators will aim to better represent Australians with disability.
