Australian Research Online searches simultaneously across the contents of Australian university and government research repositories in addition to several other collections of Australian research. The list of currently participating universities and government departments is listed on the Australian Research Online homepage.

Australian Research Online is superseding the ADT as the place to find full text digital higher degree theses harvested from Australian university repositories. Theses can also be discovered through Trove. These collections give you access to a rich body of professional knowledge produced by post graduate research students at Australian universities.
