Disability packet 2023

Version Details

Version:
1.00

The disability packet is used to report disability codes (E615) for a student and changes through time in line with a student’s disabilities. A disability packet for a student will be created as part of the student packet if the provider reports a value for the disability code (E615) when the student packet is established. In this case, the disability effective from date (E609) is automatically generated based on the date the student packet was first reported. Providers may amend this date. A provider may create as many disability packets as necessary to add disability codes (E615) for a student.

Scope

Providers are required to report a disability packet only when a student notifies the provider that:

  • they have a disability but this was not reported through the original student packet
  • they have two or more disabilities, or
  • there has been a change to their disability status.
