Geospatial data made available via the Shared Location Information Platform (SLIP) sometimes requires you to login to access it. Creating a SLIP login is free, and only requires a valid email address.

When would I need a SLIP login?

Public services and maps do not require a SLIP login.

You can simply click to open SLIP maps, or copy and paste SLIP service URLs into your GIS or other application.

Downloads of public SLIP datasets (and Open - Login SLIP services) require you to login.

Asking you to register (at no charge) to download public SLIP data enables us to understand who uses the data, and to help build a case for the release of more data publicly.

For subscription and restricted datasets, you'll need to create a SLIP login before you can join a user group.

Access to subscription and restricted SLIP data is managed via user groups. To learn about when you need to join a user group, see SLIP - How to Join a User Group.

How do I create a SLIP login?

Info: Registered SLIP users are subject to the SLIP User Account Rules.

Getting started accessing downloads and secured services in SLIP is as simple as registering an account.

Once you've activated your new login, head back to the Data WA catalogue and start accessing data!

Find our full step-by-step video guide to registering a new SLIP account below.
