Faster review
Move from a broad search to a source dataset in fewer clicks.
The homepage is tuned for the common admin workflow: find a topic,
narrow by place or focus area, then hand off to the official catalogue.
Official pathways
All major navigation routes continue through data.gov.au.
That keeps the experience familiar for analysts, publishers and staff
who already work in the broader government data environment.
Operational support
Clear local help details stay visible when you need them.
The support pathway is obvious without overwhelming the rest of the page
or distracting from the core data discovery task.
Recommended starting points
These entry points are designed for people who need to get to the right crime-data pathway quickly, whether they are checking a national source, confirming guidance, or contacting the desk.
Guidance and methodology
Use the guide to understand metadata quality, licensing, formats and publisher responsibilities before relying on a dataset operationally.
