We are committed to improving data transparency in line with the Australian Government’s Public Data Policy Statement.
Improving data transparency works to achieve our agency objectives. It helps potential investors identify opportunities in:
- renewable energy

Our open data policy
Under our open data policy, we:

Protecting sensitive and personal data
Most of the data we hold is either commercially sensitive or relates to individuals. It's governed by non-disclosure provisions and the Privacy Act 1988.
Maintaining the confidentiality of data is important to us. We don't publish personal information as part of our open data policy. However, we may publish personal information for compliance and other regulatory purposes as required or permitted under legislation.

We publish data on our website and data services. We also work with external agencies to share our data on data.gov.au and the NationalMap.
The data covers the schemes we administer. It includes data such as:
