University researchers are still unable to access the government’s data sharing regime three years in, warning “opaque and time-consuming” access rules are slowing their work.

Non-university medical research institutions like the Peter Mac Centre and Garvin Institute meanwhile say their exclusion from the scheme must be reversed to capture more benefits.

The calls for change come as part of a major review of the Data Availability and Transparency Act (DATA) scheme, which the Albanese government will consider reforming and prolonging later this year.
