National Community Services Data Committee
The National Community Services Data Committee (NCSDC) is responsible for developing and maintaining the National Community Services Data Dictionary (NCSDD) and promoting national data consistency in the community services field. One of the benefits of promoting nationally consistent data is that information can be reliably compared across jurisdictions and between services and internationally through the adoption of common terminology, definitions, classifications and code sets.
It is a standing committee of the National Community Services Information Management Group (NCSIMG), a body established under the National Community Services Information Agreement to oversee implementation of the Agreement. The NCSIMG reports to the Community Services Ministers Advisory Council.
