The analysis is complex and substantive discussion of the methodology applied is presented in Appendix 1. The great statistical power of SDAC 2012 is that it provides a capacity to measure the expected NDIS population against the legislation, Rules and Operational Guidelines on Access. The detail provided in the SDAC 2012 CURF is significant, the sample size is large, and the questions asked of respondents are in large part able to be connected with the eligibility criteria. There is a high degree of granularity in the data when referring to level and nature of disability. For the most part the relative standard errors are moderately low due to the high sample size. A perfect alignment between any major statistical survey and a suite of legislation and regulation is not a realistic possibility. At times assumptions are required to apply a statistically measured cohort with an expected cohort of persons eligible under legislation and associated regulations. In respect to some elements of the eligibility criteria, the data is not sufficiently aligned to provide a valuable statistical estimate of sub-cohorts of the potential NDIS eligible population. These cases are noted in Appendix 1. However, on the whole the SDAC CURF does provide a sufficient statistical basis for measuring the expected NDIS population when the scheme is fully implemented for the purposes of configuring a model of potential economy-wide economic effects of the NDIS. Updating the model for 2015 figures As a long run the NDIS population estimates are based on the implementation of the NDIS by June 2018. The 2012 SDAC base is indexed to 2018 levels using standard ABS population growth estimates. Table 3 below lists the estimated NDIS eligible.
