Copyright Policy

This policy clarifies the status of materials subject to copyright, aiming to remove misunderstandings about ownership of copyright.

Having a copyright policy is essential for several reasons:

• Protection of Works: Copyright law helps prevent unauthorized use and distribution.
• Legal Framework: The Copyright Act 1968 provides a clear legal framework for the protection of intellectual property. This helps resolve disputes and enforce rights effectively.
• International Standards: Australia’s copyright policy aligns with international agreements, ensuring that Australian creators’ rights are protected globally and that foreign works are respected in Australia.

This policy is ongoing and should be reviewed regularly to ensure compliance with copyright law.
