AURIN WORKBENCH
AURIN provides a suite of data, analytical, and decision-support tools to policy-makers, researchers and industry. This allows evidence-based decision-making and leading edge research around Australia’s towns and cities to thrive.
Together, these tools are known as the AURIN Workbench.
Portal
The AURIN Portal contains a rich range of data and analytical tools.
Thousands of datasets from hundreds of data providers can be retrieved through the AURIN Portal, and over 100 analytical and visualisation tools provide extensive scope for spatialising, integrating, manipulating and mapping diverse data from across multiple research disciplines.
The AURIN Portal is accessible to everyone with an Australian Access Federation (AAF) login, which means everyone with a .edu.au account and staff from other public research institutions such as the CSIRO. Log in with your University credentials here.
If you have a .gov.au email address request a free account here.
Find out more information about the Portal at our Portal Information Page.
OPEN APIs
AURIN has developed an Application Programming Interface (API) to allow users to access a whole range of open datasets, without having to log in to the portal. Users can access these datasets via desktop GIS programs such as QGIS, mobile apps, and other programming or technical environments and platforms (such as R, Jupyter).
The AURIN API contains data contributed to AURIN as part of activities to enhance research outcomes and knowledge about cities, regions and urban infrastructure. AURIN is funded by the Commonwealth government NCRIS program.
AURIN supports open data. Datasets available through the OpenAPI are licensed under Creative Commons licences.
Find out more about our API at the AURIN Open API Information Page.
Map
Free and open AURIN Map with national data layers from various data partners covering subjects such as population and demographics, health and wellbeing, socio-economic indices, vulnerability indicators and access to services.
Data is generously shared by AURIN’s data partners and visualised by AURIN Data team.
Download data, visualise with various base maps, embed maps in your website and explore other national data resources NationalMap, AREMI and NEII Viewer.
The AURIN Map is completely open for all users, including researchers, industry, policy-makers, and private individuals. It is also a great teaching tool, introducing urban and spatial concepts to young people.
