About us

PEAN is an Australian Government data analytical unit. We focus on increasing the value of the government's scientific and administrative data on the physical environment, agriculture, energy, biodiversity, and on supporting Indigenous aspirations. Our work is developing the government's capability to use its data to improve policies and services.

PEAN is made up of data analysts from member agencies. We were established in 2017 under the Data Integration Partnership for Australia (DIPA).
PEAN brings researchers and policy experts together to tackle complex issues. We do this by carrying out research projects that use public data in new ways.
