Focusing on Australian implementation, this guide sets out the principles, structures and practices required to develop robust, reliable and repeatable products, while enabling organisations to control their own data and risk.

  • bringing together government, industry, researchers and data custodians
  • to work from one shared, governed evidence base
• Guidance on how to implement one such framework – SEAF:
  • a high-level rationale for, structure of, and steps to engage in SEAF
  • SEAF is a service offering, not a self-help practice. This guide is therefore high level and not a detailed manual. In practice, the SEAF Operator, who manages the infrastructure, connects SEAF functionality to users.
