Notify students, parents, guardians and carers of the NCCD

Notify students, parents, guardians and carers of the NCCD. This notification ensures that those participating in the NCCD are made fully aware of the data collection, its purpose, legislative basis and to whom NCCD data will be disclosed.

Information about notification requirements is available through your education authority or sector, and your school principal.

You can communicate information about the NCCD using the Australian Government’s Fact sheet for parents, guardians and carers, available in several languages. The related resources below may also be useful.
