The National Disability Data Asset brings together data about all Australians.

In this document we call it ‘the Data Asset’.

When we talk about data, we mean:

• facts
• information
• records.

The data won’t include personal information, like names.

It will show information about programs and services that people use.

For example:

• community supports
• education
• health care services.

Researchers will be able to compare information about people with disability to people without disability.

This research will help us better support:

• people with disability
• their families and carers.
