This means that the copyright in your work is automatically protected in Australia as soon as it is created or documented.
However, it is important to understand that only original and creative works are eligible for copyright protection.

Copyright law has been around for over 300 years and is important for the continued development of creative and innovative works.

The Australian Copyright Council publishes information sheets and detailed guides, offers a legal advice service and runs an annual training program.
The Arts Law Centre of Australia have a Frequently Asked Questions page to assist with a broad range of copyright issues from moral rights to contracts and name protection.
