At present, the following institutional repositories in the 38 Australian universities were active, online, and carried current research documents. The ANU had two repositories, one EPrints and one DSpace. Monash had a practically empty EPrints repository, but now uses VITAL+Fedora. UQ has transitioned from EPrints to a Fez+Fedora repository. Sydney has several repositories.

For more information, see the Australian universities link in the sidebar or follow the links above to get to the sites themselves. All Australian and New Zealand repositories may be searched through a custom search engine AuseSearch. Some but not all of these repositories are searchable through the Arrow Discovery Service.
The Australasian Digital Theses Program boasts a higher number of digital repositories (40) over Australia and New Zealand, but restricted of course to e-theses. The service is a gateway to distributed leaf repositories which hold the actual e-theses. Three universities (Melbourne, Tasmania and James Cook) started serving the theses out of their main repository, and now 18 universities have done so. In the remainder these specialized leaf repositories may not be open to Internet harvesting, search engines or browsing, but the metadata can be found via the ADT Program gateway, and thence the full-text discovered and retrieved. See the page on Australasian Digital Theses Program.
