The Australian Government is a major investor in the creation and development of intellectual property (IP) through its many activities in science, health, education, public infrastructure, information technology, defence and arts and culture.

The Australian Government is encouraging greater ‘open’ access to its information. Increasing access to the Government's information and data will afford industry and the wider community greater opportunities to facilitate value-added transformation of the material—that is, the creation of new products and services—with social and economic value to the community.
