Policies: The Australian Government Public Data Policy Statement from December 2015 states that Australian Government entities must make non-sensitive data open by default to contribute to greater innovation and productivity improvements across all sectors of the Australian economy; make high-value data available for use by the public, industry and academia, in a manner that is enduring and frequently updated using high-quality standards; and where possible, ensure non-sensitive publically funded research data is made open for use and reuse.
