Data contributors

PSMA Australia develops quality digital mapping information, primarily using government sources. The agencies and organisations that collect and control the data we use to build national digital mapping datasets are known as data custodians.

The mapping agencies have established licences with PSMA Australia so national datasets can be built from data held in each jurisdiction. Separate licensing agreements with Australia Post and the Australian Electoral Commission cover the use of the address data supplied for the Geocoded National Address File (G-NAF).
