[Purpose/significance] Australia is the pioneer and active practitioner of the open-access movement. Studying the status and characteristics of Australia's Universities' open access policies could provide a positive reference for the promotion of the domestic open-access movement. [Method/process] This paper collects 40 original open access policies documents available from 38 Australian universities and 2 Australian institutions Websites. Based on this, statistical analysis and text interpretation are conducted from 10 aspects of Australia's open access policies such as adoption date, source of policy, approach, purpose, scope, definitions, deposit types, open requirements, roles and responsibilities, the copyright statement. This paper makes a comprehensive disclosure of the status and characteristics of Australia's open access policies.[Result/conclusion] It is found that the Australian open access policy has the following characteristics: the popularity of the Australian open access policy is attributed to the demonstration of policies of the government research funding agencies and government funding allocation; policy content is clear, regular and practical; most of the policies are mandatory; Australian colleges and universities take a positive attitude toward the open access policy, and policies are generated from management decision. Based on these, some suggestions are proposed for promoting China's open access movement.
