Disability Types for TRACS
1. Disability Types
•
Intellectual/Learning
•
Neurological
•
Physical
•
Psychiatric
•
Sensory/Speech – Hearing/Speech
•
Sensory/Speech – Visual
•
Sensory/Speech – Other
These options have been drawn from the National Disability Insurance Agency’s (NDIA’s)
primary level headings of data collection to assist the AAT to record and report on the same
information. NDIA’s primary level headings are:
•
Intellectual/Learning
•
Neurological
•
Physical
•
Psychiatric
•
Sensory/Speech
The ‘Sensory/Speech’ option has been subdivided into three new options. It will assist with
the identification of accessibility needs and provide richer data for reporting purposes.
In some cases, it may be difficult to categorise a specific disability if the primary level
category is not obvious from the application for review or the reviewable decision. The
information will likely be contained in the T-documents.
2. NDIA’s primary and secondary level categories
The following is a list of NDIA’s primary level categories of disability types with secondary
level categories under each. This list should help you to record the appropriate disability
type(s) in TRACS and on the NDIS Division First Outreach Checklist.
Note: some second level disability categories are listed under more than one primary level
category, eg cerebral palsy is listed under both “Neurological” and “Physical”. It may be
appropriate to record more than one disability type in certain circumstances.
