The Copyright Agency

The Copyright Agency is an Australian not-for-profit organisation that has been standing up for creators for more than 40 years. We enable the reuse of copyright-protected words and images in return for fair payment to creators.

OUR VISION Our vision is for a world that encourages and supports creativity, communication and learning.

OUR MISSION Our mission is to provide simple ways for people to reproduce, store and share words, images and other creative content, in return for fair payment to creators. We are committed to encouraging the development of lively and diverse markets for published works with our range of commercial licences and through our Cultural Fund.

OUR VALUES Integrity: We are real people who believe in what we stand for and can be trusted to do as we say. Creativity: We appreciate the time and unique skill that goes into making original works and how these works entertain, educate and inspire a rich and diverse Australian culture. We stand up for creators’ rights. Responsiveness: We are flexible and adapt to change. We listen to others and are quick to respond. Transparency: We are open and honest in all our dealings and will take responsibility for what we do. We work hard to build and foster good relationships.

The Copyright Agency Cultural Fund has supported The Conversation’s internship program since the start of 2014.
