Implementation in Data Set Specifications: | National Preschool Attendance Collection DSS 2024 Early Childhood, Recorded 16/05/2024 DSS specific information: In the National Preschool Attendance Collection (NPAC), record the total number of whole hours that were operationally unavailable to the child during the attendance reference period, i.e., minutes should be rounded to the nearest whole hour. In the NPAC, the minimum number of hours allowed to be reported is '1', and the maximum is '720'. Where the number of hours is not stated, '999' should be submitted. Operationally unavailable hours are defined by the three following categories:
Operationally unavailable hours should only be recorded for children who are enrolled for the hours or day that the program was unavailable (e.g. if a child is enrolled on a Monday and there was a public holiday on that day, include the child’s enrolled hours for that day as operationally unavailable hours). If operationally unavailable hours are reported, they will be reported as actual where possible or may be estimated where this data is not collected. Where estimates are provided, jurisdictions will provide an explanation of the estimation method. |
