Disability Funding

Disability funding in the Catholic education system is a resource that enables schools to create inclusive environments and provide tailored support for students with diverse needs. The CECV program, funded through the Nationally Consistent Collection of Data/ SWD Students with Disabilities (NCCD), enhances schools’ capacity to make adjustments and empower people with disabilities.

Under the NCCD model, teachers use their professional, informed judgement to determine:

• which of their students are being provided with a reasonable adjustment to access education because of disability, consistent with definitions and obligations under the Disability Discrimination Act 1992 (the DDA) and the Disability Standards for Education 2005
• the level of adjustment that students with disability are being provided with, in both classroom and whole of school contexts
• the broad category of disability under which each student best fits.
