Copyright Agency
Making copyright compliance simple for government and rewarding creators fairly.
Copyright Agency is an Australian not-for-profit that helps government organisations use and share copyright-protected text and images confidently and compliantly, while ensuring creators are fairly compensated.
We manage the Statutory Government Licence for Commonwealth, State and Territory governments and provide licensing solutions for local government and other organisations. Our licences support the lawful use of content across everyday activities including copying, internal sharing and digital communications.
Representing more than 40,000 writers, visual artists, publishers and other rightsholders, we help organisations reduce copyright risk, simplify permissions and understand what they can do with third-party content.
As technology changes how information is accessed and reused, we are also developing licensing solutions for emerging uses of copyright material involving AI, including grounding, retrieval augmented generation and other enterprise applications.
Our aim is simple: make it easier for organisations to access and use high-quality content on fair terms, while ensuring the people who create it are paid.
