We spent 2 years testing how the data asset would work.

During this time, a group of people gave us advice about how to make things better.

Their advice was about how the data asset should work.

They said we should create a group called the National Disability Data Asset Council.

We call them the Council.

They said the Council should make sure people are using the data asset in the right way.

The advice also included rules everyone should follow.

They included these rules in a document we call the draft Charter.

A draft is a document that is not finished.

Some things in a draft might change later.

Other people check a draft before they publish it.

The draft Charter is about how the government will work with the disability community to:

• manage the data asset

• protect information about people with disability.
