• Any peer reviewed journal articles and/or conference paper arising from ARC funding must be made openly accessible immediately upon publication with CC BY licence applied unless a different licence required to comply with section 4.5 of the policy.
• Monographs, edited volumes, book chapters, and research reports must be made openly accessible as soon as possible and within 12 months of publication.
• Creative works are strongly encouraged to be made openly accessible where it is possible to do so.
• A DOI must be provided for all outputs, including creative works.
• Metadata for the peer-reviewed publications arising from ARC funding must be made openly accessible via an institutional repository as soon as possible but no later than 3 months from the date of publication.
• Mandatory acknowledgement of ARC and include the grant ID, grant DOI and the ARC's ROR.
• All research outputs must be listed in the project Final Report and have a DOI. In cases where researchers may not be able to meet ARC requirements because of current legal or contractual obligations, Final Reports must provide reasons why publications derived from a Project, Award, or Fellowship have not been deposited in an open access institutional repository within the required time frame, the steps that will be taken to achieve OA and who will be responsible for actioning.

• Immediate open access to journal publications is required. For other publications, it is encouraged. 
• Open access pathways now include preprints, alongside the version of record and author accepted manuscript (AAMs). 
• Mandatory acknowledgement of funders and use of persistent identifiers: ORCID, NHMRC ROR ID, and NHMRC grant IDs. There is also strong encouragement to use RAiDs for research activity.    
• Broader expectations for open research practices, including sharing: data, metadata, methods, software and code (where feasible), and negative or null results, in line with FAIR and CARE principles. 
• Strengthened Indigenous Data Governance, including documented governance arrangements where Indigenous people, knowledge or data are involved. 
• Clinical trials must be registered prior to participant recruitment, with timely sharing of results and metadata through recognised services (e.g. Health Data Australia). 
• For more details on publishing options compliant with the revised NHMRC_MRFF Open Science policy, please see the OA Funder Mandate section of the UWA Library Open Access Toolkit.

Researchers should plan for openness from project commencement. For more information: ARC Open Access and NHMRC_MRFF Open Science policies.
