Screenrights Agreement (Part VA)


Part VA of the Copyright Act 1968, provides for Screenrights to collect royalties for the copying and communication of broadcasts from Radio and Television by educational institutions.

Universities Australia (formerly the Australian Vice-Chancellors Committee) has negotiated an agreement on behalf of most Australian Universities to facilitate remuneration to creators of audio-visual subject matter.

Universities can rely on the agreement to make copies of any program, film or advertisement which is broadcast on Radio and Television for educational purposes, without having to first seek permission from copyright owners.

Podcasts
Part VA now includes the copying and communication of content of a free‑to‑air broadcast, which the broadcaster has made available online at or after the time of the broadcast, eg ABC Radio Podcasts.

Check out this Screenrights' fact sheet for details.
