If you have chosen a more restrictive access category (Fees Apply, Restricted, Government Use Only, or Mixed) a “Request Access” button will appear with the Access & Use Information.

This guides users who want to access the data to contact you for discussion, rather than contacting unrelated teams or trying to self-serve through login portals.

Request Access URLs

When choosing one of these more restrictive access categories, a Request Access URL field will be made available to you. You can use this field to direct users enquiring about access to a webform or other webpage.

Request Access Emails

When no Request Access URL is supplied, users will be directed to send an email to the maintainer contact provided on the dataset.

Depending on the device that the user is accessing data.wa.gov.au via, they should be prompted with the below text when sending the email, and the email subject line will default to include the name of the dataset.
