Conducting research in SURE
The Secure Unified Research Environment
The Secure Unified Research Environment (SURE) gives researchers an easy and secure way of accessing linked data from hospitals, cancer registries, Medicare and more.
How SURE works for researchers
SURE is a remote access research platform available from your own computer. Your workspace allows access to data and analytical software without datasets ever leaving SURE, helping you safely collaborate with colleagues in Australia and overseas.
It’s an easy, safe and secure way for Australian researchers and data custodians to work together. Already more than 500 researchers are using SURE for work that tackles major health issues such as cancer, diabetes and mental health.
Access linked health data
SURE is nationally recognised and hosts sensitive health data from more than 25 data custodians including from hospitals, Medicare, cancer registries and more.
Save money and time
Get flexible access to high-powered virtual machines at low monthly rates, with transparent costs.
Work collaboratively
Our workspaces give researchers the ability to collaborate with researchers at other institutions internationally.
Conduct analysis in half the time
SURE’s powerful servers let researchers conduct analysis quickly and securely, including access to GPUs when needed.
Highly secure data management
SURE is accredited and regularly audited under ISO27001:2013, includes strong multi-factor identification and undergoes regular testing to ensure data is safe, secure and compliant.
