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 provider may create as many PIR disability packets as necessary to add multiple disability codes (E615) for a student.

Scope

Providers may report a PIR disability packet only when a student notifies the provider that:

  • they have a disability;
  • they have two or more disabilities, or
  • there has been a change to their disability status.

Reporting deadlines

Before the first course admission is linked to the student record. Changes to disability status notified to the provider in 2023 are due to be reported by 13 September 2024.
