The Charter says researchers who use the Data Asset for their projects must share accessible versions of their results.

When information is accessible, it’s easy to:

• find and use
• understand.

Researchers must create a summary of their results that is easy to understand.

The summary should:

• describe the project
• share important results
• explain what the results mean.

Sometimes a research project can be about a community who speak a language other than English.

Researchers must translate the summary for these projects into a language this community will understand.

Researchers who run government research projects must share 3 to 5 main ideas from their results.

They must share these main ideas in the top 6 languages used in Australia.

Researchers must share a summary of 3 to 5 main ideas from the results of their research project.

They must share these main ideas in:

• Easy Read
• Auslan.

Researchers must share results from their research project in Braille when people ask for it.

Researchers must share the accessible versions of their results first before they share any other version of them.

If a research project goes for more than 2 years, the researchers must share their results every 2 years.

Researchers need to have enough money to make accessible versions of their research before the project can start.

Projects that don’t meet the rules for sharing accessible versions of their research might not be allowed to use the Data Asset again.

We will check the accessible versions of results before they are shared with the community.

We will also check to make sure digital versions of the results:

• are accessible

• are easy to understand on the Data Asset website.

We will share accessible versions on the Data Asset website.
