NEW

 We can now offer a fully automated work health and safety reporting process
to work alongside our spatial data collection platforms.
With this package you can take care of all your regular work reporting needs on one mobile unit.
​


Data collection tools

We set you up with robust, easy to use tablets and GPS field data collection software. We use technology that is suitable for community involvement and easy uptake, without sacrificing quality of performance.  We help you use these tablets to record daily work progress, local knowledge, cultural places, field survey results or technical data through a series of on site workshops.


Integrated database

We set your office up with a database that links to your data collection tools and mapping software, for easy upload and storage of information. We help you upload and file your data.

Desktop mapping tools

We set you up with the high quality desktop mapping software. We help you map and visualise your data for use in reporting, research, education or promotion. 


​Field GIS Australia was established by director Dr Nick McClean in 2015. 

"Over the last 5 years we've worked closely with Dr Nick McClean, and he's helped us develop our cultural heritage programme, research our local freshwater turtles, and develop GIS training workshops with our ranger group. Our rangers have learnt valuable technical skills that we use running our business every day. We've also been able to build our understanding of field research and our capacity to work with researchers, government agencies and private sector clients. 

I can recommend this course to any Indigenous or community based organisation who wants to learn in a field based, inclusive way."
