Data repositories are useful for finding data to reuse for research.

Many research organisations, government agencies and cultural institutions have data repositories. Some repositories are subject specific and some are multidisciplinary.

A data portal allows you to find datasets from across many different repositories via a searchable interface.

Research Data Australia This link opens in a new window
Research Data Australia helps you find, access, and reuse data for research from over one hundred Australian research organisations, government agencies, and cultural institutions. We do not store the data itself here but provide descriptions of, and links to, the data from our data publishing partners.
Research Data Australia caters specifically for researchers but also has broader relevance to others including policy makers, educators and business people.

Research Data Australia covers a broad spectrum of research fields - across sciences, social sciences, arts and humanities. Much of the data you can discover here is immediately accessible online via our partners and free to use (subject to any licence conditions).
