140 Charging of fees by data scheme entities

(1) A data custodian of public sector data may charge fees to an accredited entity for services performed by or on behalf of the data custodian in dealing with a request by the accredited entity for data to be shared under this Act. (2) A data custodian that charges fees must do so in a way that is not inconsistent with the policies of the Australian Government. (3) Nothing in this section has the effect of preventing an accredited entity (including a Commonwealth body) from charging fees in relation to services it performs in relation to the data sharing scheme.
