The National Disability Data Asset (NDDA) is inclusively co-governed through the NDDA Council. This means that governments and the wider disability community share responsibility and decision-making. The Council has 12 members and reports to Disability Ministers. Its role is to make sure the NDDA is used in the right way. The Council also provides annual reports to Disability Ministers. This first annual report covers July 2024 to June 2025. 

The NDDA aims to deliver 3 main benefits: 

• building stronger evidence to improve laws, policies, and services for people with disability 
• improving data quality and quantity, and access to data about people with disability 
• building better systems for sharing data between governments. 

This report covers:

• uses and outcomes of the NDDA
• whether the rules and principles in the NDDA's Charter are being followed
• how data is kept safe and what happens if data is used in the wrong way. 

A summary of the report in Auslan is available via the website.
