Data sharing with national data integration projects
Learn why the ACT Government shares data and how your information is protected.
We share some of the data we collect with national data integration projects.
Data integration means combining information from two or more sources. This helps researchers analyse complex questions and find insights that a single dataset alone cannot show.
There are several data integration projects across Australia. These projects help governments understand people’s needs and improve services.
We share data when it is safe, legal, ethical and secure.
What the data is used for
We share data so that everyone can:
- understand which programs and services people use
- improve opportunities and outcomes for communities
- support and strengthen services
- improve reporting and transparency about how services perform.
How your data is kept safe
National data projects must meet strict privacy and data protection rules. When we share community data, we follow both Commonwealth and ACT legislation.
Find details about data sharing and protections on the project websites.
