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 and the 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. It will also make sure the data asset is only used for the things that governments and the disability community have agreed to.
