The National Disability Data Asset Unit (NDDAU) works in collaboration with the Australian Bureau of Statistics and the Department of Social Services to deliver the National Disability Data Asset (NDDA) project.
The NDDA is being co-designed and delivered in collaboration with jurisdictional partners, people with disability and the wider disability community, to bring together de-identified data from the Commonwealth, states and territories to provide a person-centred view of the pathways people with disability take through government and other service systems, as well as other drivers of inclusion and outcomes. The insights provided by the NDDA will enable more data-informed policy and investment decisions, inform Australian research efforts with timely and quality data, and provide people with disability better information to access services.
