Geoscience Australia's leading role in the Open Data Network

Created 16/10/2025

Updated 16/10/2025

Geoscience Australia has a leading role in the Australian Government's Open Data Network. Over the past few years Geoscience Australia has, in partnership with agencies across the Australian Government, including the Department of Communications and the Department of Finance, delivered a series of projects that have cemented Geoscience Australia's role as a leading exemplar of Open Data in the Australian Government. These projects have included the recent release of the National Map; FIND - a spatial search engine across government data providers; providing over 80 per cent of the data that is published on data.gov.au; implementation of Creative Commons licensing for the majority of our data; and Geoscience Australia's sponsorship of GovHack.
