Data Sharing Requests

What are Data Sharing Requests

A 'Data Sharing Request' is the output from the process of requesting access to a resource. When completed, it will outline the reasons as to why the data is being requested, who is the person or people requesting the data, and any projects which the data will be used for.

When requesting for a resource through ourselves, the Australian Data Archive, or through one of our partners, you will be redirected to this page directly rather than having to choose and select a resource yourself.

'Data Sharing Request' States

StateDescription

RejectedThe submitted DSR application was unsuccessful and the request was not approved.
RevokedThe submitted DSR application was successful at a point in time but it has since been rescinded and access to the requested resources has been revoked.
ApprovedThe submitted DSR was successful and access has been granted to the requested resources.
DraftThe DSR has not been submitted for approval yet and is still being completed by the applicant.
