Research Data Australia helps you find, access, and reuse data for research from over one hundred Australian research organisations, government agencies, and cultural institutions.

The Atlas of Living Australia is a collaborative, national project that aggregates biodiversity data from multiple sources and makes it freely available and usable online.

The Australian SuperSite Network (ASN) is a national network of multidisciplinary ecosystem observatories. The ASN includes ten SuperSites that each represent a significant Australian biome. The network covers all States and Territories and spans a wide range of environmental conditions.

The Stemformatics portal provides access to a series of public experiments describing mouse and human stem cells and how they differentiate to become mature cells, tissues and organs. Data from leading stem cell laboratories has been made available in a format that is easy to search, easy to visualise and easy to export. These normalised public datasets are uploaded to the Stemformatics portal. They include probe mappings, raw data mappings, and annotations of samples.

Interactive maps of land cover, floods, fires and a range of demographic factors.

The CSIRO NCMI Information and Data Centre hosts numerous biological datasets. Our main sources of biological data are the surveys performed by the CSIRO Marine National Facility (RV Franklin, RV Southern Surveyor, RV Investigator). We also maintain datasets that were entrusted to us by other institutions (e.g., Bureau of Rural Sciences, Soviet Fisheries, and Western Australian Museum).
