Work on the National Data Repository (NDR) continues to as we approach the 1 July go-live date, with a strong focus on final readiness and sector-wide coordination. Over the past month, key elements of the program have been finalised, including the core data fields [add Included fields graphic link here] and data sharing arrangements, alongside continued onboarding support for centres transitioning from CLASS.

As the end of June rapidly approaches, we are also working hard to ensure centres are ready for the end of CLASS and the shift to sending NAJP data to the NDR. Once the transition is complete, we can start preparing to produce NAJP reports for state and territory governments directly from the NDR. We have started planning for the January to June 2026 jurisdiction reports, with timeframes expected to allow centres as much flexibility as possible for final data entry.

We will publish a detailed Data and Technology update (DAT update) before the end of May, which will provide further information on what to expect on 1 July, key actions for centres, and next steps for reporting through the NDR.
