About Open Government, Victoria State Government

data.vic.gov.au is the open data portal for the Victorian State Government in Australia, providing access to data assets published by organisations across the Victorian public sector. It includes a dataset search tool along with dashboards and visualisations, and covers thematic areas such as planning, transport, Vicmap spatial data, education, environment, and community statistics.

The site also aggregates open data from Victorian local government councils, both metropolitan and rural, and links to specific datasets and APIs, including road disruption and traffic count data, crime and bail statistics, and public transport timetable (GTFS) data. It operates under the DataVic Access Policy, which governs how data is published and accessed.

Separately, the portal provides resources for Victorian Public Service (VPS) organisations, including the internal VPS Data Directory for finding and sharing data within government, a publishing guide, and a metadata standard document for data published in that directory. This internal directory is restricted to use within the VPS, while the broader dataset search and thematic data pages are publicly accessible.
