As of December 2025, Google Analytics 4 (GA4) data can be exported from Australia using a combination of built-in reports, the Data API, and integrations with BigQuery. This process allows Australian businesses to move their website and app analytics data outside of the GA4 interface for custom analysis and long-term storage.
GA4 currently offers several export options. Standard reports can be exported as CSV files directly within the GA4 interface, suitable for smaller datasets. For larger volumes, the GA4 Data API allows programmatic access to raw and aggregated data, enabling integration with custom tools or data warehouses. Crucially, GA4’s integration with Google BigQuery – available to all GA4 properties – provides a near real-time, serverless data warehouse solution. Australian businesses utilising BigQuery benefit from Google Cloud’s Australian data centres, addressing data residency concerns. BigQuery exports are subject to Google Cloud’s pricing structure, which varies based on storage and query usage. In 2026, Google plans to further enhance the Data API with more granular access controls. Data privacy is managed through GA4’s settings and Google Cloud’s compliance certifications, relevant for Australian Privacy Principles (APPs).
Ultimately, GA4 data export functions by providing multiple pathways to retrieve analytics information, allowing Australian businesses to store and analyse their data outside of the standard GA4 reporting environment.
