Copyright permission

For reproductions of copyrighted works of art, the Gallery will provide contact details (if known) of the copyright holder so that applicants may obtain appropriate copyright permission. Evidence of such permission must be forwarded to the Rights  & Permissions Officer prior to publication. Any copyright fees requested by copyright holders are the responsibility of the applicant and are additional to the Gallery's fees for the supply and reproduction of images. The Gallery accepts no responsibility for images reproduced without the copyright holder's permission.

Moral rights

All image reproductions must be accompanied with appropriate acknowledgements and credits, as provided by the Gallery. Reproductions must also show due consideration for the artist's reputation and the integrity of the work of art. Failure to meet these requirements may constitute infringement of an artist's moral rights. Further information regarding Australia's moral rights legislation can be found at the Australian Copyright Council.

Private research & study

Delivery times

The Gallery endeavours to supply image material in a timely fashion to meet the applicant's deadline. The following caveats, however, must be taken into account when placing an order for image material:

Existing image material: Images produced from existing image material can take up to 4 weeks to complete.

New photography: New photography of works of art can take up to 12 weeks to complete.

Deadlines: Due to variable circumstances, heavy workloads and schedules, the Gallery cannot warrant that the delivery of image material will meet your deadline if the lead time is less than 4 weeks for images produced from existing image material or less than 12 weeks for images that require new photography.

Publishers are strongly advised to allow sufficient time in their publication schedules for the checking and approval of proof prints.
