Education

By providing a statutory licence for educational institutions, the Copyright Act 1968 (the Act) aims to balance the copying needs of educational institutions with the rights of authors and other creators.

The statutory licence allows educational institutions to make copies of copyright works for educational purposes. Limits apply to the extent of copying. We can approve one-off additional copying not authorised under the licence through our Copyright Express service.

Copyright Agency Limited (CAL) is the collecting society approved by the Attorney-General to administer the Statutory Educational licence.
