Seeking permission to re-use content for learning & teaching purposes
While most re-use scenarios are covered by using open access material, library licensed databases or Curtin’s Copyright licences, there may be instances where you might need to seek further permission to make a copy and communication for students.
The table below gives advice on how to seek permission for reuse for various material types and scenarios.
| Type of material/reuse | Further support |
| Student work, e.g. using a student work as an exemplar for other students | Use our Permission to Use Copyright Student Work template |
| Guest presenter at a lecture | Use our Guest Presenter Permission & Release Form template |
| Providing learning materials to incarcerated students | Refer to our Incarcerated students and teaching resources guide |
| Re-using or adapting publisher materials that are supplementary to an adopted textbook (e.g. slides, handouts, etc.) | Use our Permission Request to Re-use Publisher Supplementary Materials (Commercial) template |
| Digitising audiovisual materials for teaching | Refer to our Digitising Audiovisual Materials for Teaching guide |
| Making copies for people with a disability | Refer to our webpage on the disability provisions in the Copyright Act |
