The Australian Geological Survey Organization (AGSO) Seismological Center exists to improve community safety by reducing risk from earthquakes and nuclear explosions. The Center maintains relational databases of earthquakes, tsunamis and nuclear explosions.

AGSO operates over 30 seismograph stations in Australia and the Australian Antarctic Territory. Data from these stations, a mix of arrays and broad-band and single component stations are telemetered to Canberra where they are analysed and distributed world-wide for global studies of earthquakes.

Information is available as ASCII files or Oracle export files.

The cost is that of extraction. Working hours are Monday to Friday, 8am - 5pm.
