Please note that the content on this website is no longer being updated. A new website, the "Smart Copying Website", providing up to date copyright information for Australian schools is currently under development. An interim version of this website is now available at www.smartcopying.edu.au.

The Copyright Aware Website is a source of news, ideas and resources for schools on responsible information use and copyright law.

Copyright law is both complex, and changing. Its development parallels the new ways society uses, makes and distributes information and knowledge.

As schools play a pivotal role in the knowledge economy, they need to understand and act on their social and legal obligations around copyright within their school context.
