Abstract
National Statistical Agencies and other data custodians are vital sources of data for research and policy analysis. However, external researchers must be provided with access to data in such a way that privacy and confidentiality are protected. We discuss two recently-implemented research data access systems. The first was developed by the Australian Bureau of Statistics for use with certain of its data collections. The second was developed by the Sax Institute, a non-profit health research non-government organisation, for use by population health and health services researchers to analyse complex, linked administrative health and related data sets provided by a range of data custodians. Although these organisations both chose remote access systems, it is interesting that there are significant differences between the two systems. We discuss the drivers for and consequences of the different choices made.
