The Australian Research Council (ARC) and the National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) Open Access policies aim to ensure that the discovery of publicly funded research is made available to researchers and the wider community. Their Funding Agreements require all fully or partially funded research to be made publicly available in an Open Access institutional repository within 12 months of the date of publication.
The ARC and NHMRC Open Access policies mandate that research outputs be made openly accessible within 12 months of publication under the following conditions:

Requirements for books/chapters differ slightly from those for journal articles and conference papers.
NHMRC acknowledges the importance of making research data publicly accessible and therefore strongly encourages researchers to consider the reuse value of their data and to take reasonable steps to share research data and associated metadata arising from NHMRC supported research. When sharing data, researchers should ensure that appropriate metadata accompany the datasets. This will allow users of the data to fully understand the data, the curation strategies, assumptions, experimental conditions and any other details relevant to the interpretation of the data.
