The Australian Research Data Commons (ARDC) invites you to participate in a short survey about your
interaction with the ARDC and use of our national research infrastructure and services. The survey will take
approximately 5 minutes and is anonymous. It’s open to anyone who uses our digital research infrastructure
services including Reasearch Link Australia.
We will use the information you provide to improve the national research infrastructure and services we
deliver and to report on user satisfaction to the Australian Government’s National Collaborative Research
Infrastructure Strategy (NCRIS) program.
Please take a few minutes to provide your input. The survey closes COB Friday 29 May 2026.

Australia is the first country to launch digital TV nationally. Increasingly, this platform will be used for consuming multimedia information; also the HDTV infrastructure is being applied to other domains such as telemedicine/e-Health to lower costs and improve effectiveness. For Australia to be a step ahead in the development of these applications that are beneficial to a wider community, we have to look forward and establish adequate infrastructure for the development of needed applications of the future. It is strongly believed that by doing so we can position ourselves ahead of other communities in anticipating and providing essential services to our modern society and this in turn will greatly benefit the Australian economy.Read moreRead less
