How can I obtain permission to use Commonwealth material?
Published literary works
The Commonwealth Government owns copyright in literary, dramatic, musical and artistic works, sound recordings and films made by its employees, or otherwise made under its direction or control. These include materials such as legislation, departmental publications, photographs, Commonwealth maps, most Government publications and other Government reports, including copyright material on the Internet.
Requests for permission to reproduce published Commonwealth copyright material should be directed to:
Commonwealth Copyright Administration
Copyright Law Branch
Attorney-General’s Department
National Circuit

Commonwealth unpublished works
Permission in respect of unpublished material should be directed to the Commonwealth Department or agency responsible for that material.
State and Territory publications or unpublished works
Inquiries concerning State or Territory Government copyright material should be addressed to the State or Territory authorities concerned, not to the Commonwealth as each government controls its own copyright.
