NCCD Compliance · Australian Schools
Most schools reconstruct their NCCD evidence at census time — manually, from timetables, emails, and memory. Allocateiq collects that evidence automatically, every day, as a byproduct of running the LSO timetable. The acquittal workbook is ready when you need it.
Request pilot access →The Nationally Consistent Collection of Data on School Students with Disability (NCCD) requires schools to document the adjustments made to support students with disability — who received support, from whom, for how long, in what program, at what level of adjustment.
Most schools collect this evidence by reconstructing it from LSO timetables, attendance records, and email threads at the end of each term or year. It is time-consuming, error-prone, and often incomplete. Allocateiq makes it automatic.
In Allocateiq, every LSO assignment is linked to the students supported, their NCCD category (Supplementary, Substantial, or Extensive), and their program. As coordinators build and update the timetable throughout the term, NCCD evidence accumulates automatically. No separate evidence system. No end-of-term reconstruction.
The NCCD acquittal is not just about LSO hours. Allocateiq tracks the specific programs each student is enrolled in — structured literacy, numeracy intervention, and specialist classes — and links qualified LSOs to those programs. Training badges on LSO profiles prevent unqualified staff from being assigned to specialist classes. This connection between student program, LSO qualification, and NCCD category is what makes the acquittal evidence defensible.
At census, one click exports a 3-sheet Excel workbook:
Every NCCD-funded student: name, year level, NCCD category, primary LSO, programs enrolled in, average weekly support periods. Ready for the census return.
Week-by-week record of which LSO supported which student in which class during which period. The evidence trail for each student’s support, already organised by week.
Total support hours per LSO with the verification method column required for acquittal. Links LSO wages and funded hours to the student support load. Ready for the business manager.
Principals and business managers do not just need the acquittal. They need to know whether the school’s investment in support hours is actually reaching the students who need it most.
The Allocateiq analytics dashboard shows NCCD coverage percentage against the funded student cohort, program coverage rates, and workload distribution across LSOs — answering whether the deployment matches the need, and whether any students are at risk of insufficient support before census.
The Disability Standards for Education 2005 require schools to make reasonable adjustments for students with disability on an individual basis and to consult with students and their associates. The NCCD provides the evidence framework. The four adjustment levels — QDTP (Quality Differentiated Teaching Practice), Supplementary, Substantial, and Extensive — correspond to the depth of adjustment required. Allocateiq captures data at each level so the acquittal reflects the actual adjustments made, not a reconstruction from memory.
Allocateiq does not require integration with your school information system. It operates independently and exports the evidence in Excel format. The export can be uploaded to your school information system or submitted directly. No API. No IT configuration. No waiting for a system update.
