Nationally Consistent Collection of Data of Students with Disability

Non-government Schools Census Collection Notice

The Australian Government Department of Education (the department) would like to advise all staff, parents, guardians and students (where applicable) that it will collect certain information about our school, its staff and student body as part of the non-government schools census collection (the census).

How and what information is collected for the census?
Census information is provided to the department by your school legal entity (the approved authority) via the SchoolsHUB website.

The census provides information about our school, including the number and characteristics of our staff and student body, during a specific reference period.

Information and characteristics collected through the census include:
• teaching and non-teaching staff
• students’ year level and workload
• students’ gender and age (as on 1 July 2025)
• Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander staff and students
• students with disability
• students receiving distance education
• day, boarding and overseas students.

The names of students and staff are not collected, apart from the name, position and contact details of the staff member nominated as the primary contact for the census.
