Data held by National Archives of Australia
135A Data held by National Archives of Australia
Before the open access period
Where public sector data is transferred by its data custodian to the National Archives of Australia before the start of the open access period (within the meaning of the Archives Act 1983) in relation to the data, then, for the purposes of this Act and until the start of the open access period in relation to the data:
the data custodian continues to be the data custodian of the data; and
the National Archives of Australia is not a data custodian of the data.
Subsection (1) has effect despite anything in the definition of data custodian in subsection 11(2).
Records in the open access period
An authorisation in Chapter 2 does not apply in relation to sharing, collecting or using a record in the open access period, unless the sharing, collection or use is part of a project covered by a data sharing agreement registered before the start of the open access period.
Records that are in the open access period may be accessed under the Archives Act 1983.
