DATA
AND
ACCESSIBILITY
GUIDELINES
“Government
agencies
and
research
communi:es
have
iden:fied
the
need
to
promote
open
access
to
public
sector
and
publicly
funded
informa:on.
The
Australian
Government's
posi:on
is
that
informa:on
funded
by
the
Government
is
a
na:onal
resource
that
should
be
managed
for
public
purposes.
Open
access
to
Government
funded
informa:on
is
the
default
posi:on
of
the
Department
with
excep:on
only
for
privacy,
security
or
confiden:ality
reasons.
