| Free tier | "Galaxy Australia is one of the international UseGalaxy servers that provide a common core set of tools and reference genomes, and are open to anyone." A non-Australian registered account carries a 100 GB data hosting quota and a 365 day hosted data retention period; an account registered with an address from the Australian research institution list carries 600 GB. Anonymous users get 5 GB and lose it when the browser session expires, and cannot create workflows or share content. unit GiB; metered on wall-clock; perpetual-open-registration |

| Composes with | Three Galaxy servers now give three independent quotas for one email address: 250 GB at Galaxy Main, 250 GB at Galaxy Europe and 100 GB here, which is 600 GB of free hosted storage across three different national funders, with no shared account system and no card. |
| Reliability | no reliability event recorded |
| Notes | The retention figure disagrees across the vendor's own pages: the feature catalogue says hosted data retention is "Service lifetime" for registered accounts while the data policy page says 1 year (52 weeks) and the training material frames it as 90 days from last activity. The conservative reading is taken here because a reader planning around the data should assume the shortest. This disagreement is a finding about the documentation rather than about the service, and it would be settled by reading the live data policy after an upload. Compute quotas on Galaxy Australia are not published on the pages read, so only storage is quantified. The corpus holds no Galaxy Australia record. |
