Submission to the Statutory Review of the Data Availability and Transparency Act 2022
The Australian Government is conducting a review ofthe data Availability and Transparency Act 2022, which will consider the effectiveness of the Act and whether its operation supports improvements in public sector data availability, sharing and transparency. The AHEAD team wrote a submission which emphasised that while the National Disability Data Asset (NDDA) has the potential to transform outcomes for people with disability in Australia and position us as global leaders in disability research, progress has been slowed by governance issues and lack of transparency.
Strengthening governance and sustaining the DATA Scheme are essential to realising the NDDA’s promise.
