The National Disability Data Asset is a new way to connect data about people with disability.

We call it the Data Asset for short.

Data is

• Facts
• Information
• Records.

The data asset brings together data about all people in Australia.

We will keep the information safe.

The data will not have personal information like names.

No one will

• Know who people are
• Be able to contact them.

The data asset will help the government make good decisions to help people with disability.

We looked at the data.

We made the first disability indicators.

Disability indicators are types of information about disability in the data asset.

We will call them indicators for short.

They can tell us things like

• How many people have a disability

• What type of disability they have.

We made the indicators with help from

• People with disability

• Disability Representative Organisations

• Data experts.
