............and what it means before the August NCCD census.

The Federal Budget 2026/27 quietly shifted the compliance ground beneath every Australian school, and most haven't felt it yet. The question is no longer whether a school submitted its NCCD collection; it's whether the funding claims behind it are supported by genuine, evidence-based, inclusive practice.

With the Department of Education signalling a clear intention to strengthen compliance activities and new national integrity measures already in place, scrutiny is no longer theoretical. It means checking whether family consultations happened and were documented, whether adjustments recorded on paper are visible across classrooms and teachers, and whether moderation reflects real professional judgement. None of this requires new legislation - the powers to act already exist. What has changed is the appetite to use them.

The principals navigating this calmly aren't doing more paperwork; they've built leaner, smarter systems where inclusion lives in everyday teaching rather than a folder or spreadsheet. This webinar is for the leaders who want to be in that group.
