Licence for Australian Government spatial data provided over the Internet

The OSDM Licence is designed for transfers of Australian Government spatial datasets listed on the Schedule. It designates OSDM as the party contracting on behalf of the Commonwealth. The OSDM Licence is designed for use with the OSDM Licence Registration Service (OLRS) — a licence authentication service for Schedule datasets. It allows registered users to access multiple datasets from all participating Australian Government agencies after a single registration process.

OSDM Licence Registration Service

The OSDM Licence Registration Service (OLRS) enables registered users, who have previously agreed to the OSDM licence conditions, to access a range of spatial datasets (from participating agencies) on the Schedule without having to agree to a new licence each time. This facilitates public access to Australian Government spatial datasets and assists agencies manage their licences.

OSDM manages the registration and licence management process on behalf of participating agencies. Reports on the numbers of licences granted and datasets downloaded are provided to agencies on a quarterly basis. OLRS is supported by Geoscience Australia.

How OLRS works

Visit any participating agency's web site or select the agency in the Schedule search, then select the dataset(s) you wish to use and follow the download instructions.
You will be directed to OLRS where you enter your registration details and agree to the conditions of the OSDM Licence.
You will receive an email with the URL to allow you to download the requested datasets.
When you next wish to download a dataset from the same agency or any other participating agency, you only need to enter your email address into the OLRS to confirm that you are a registered user. You will then receive an email with the download URL for the requested datasets without having to repeat the full registration process.
