Copyright conditions for authors

for Family Matters and other Institute publications

The Australian Institute of Family Studies (AIFS) requires authors to assign copyright in their work to AIFS (representing the Commonwealth of Australia) before the work is published by AIFS. This includes articles in Family Matters, and all other AIFS publications, such as publications generated by the National Child Protection Clearinghouse, the Australian Centre for the Study of Sexual Assault and the Australian Family Relationships Clearinghouse.

Authors are also required to warrant that the work is original and they are the owners of the copyright in the work. If copyright in the work is owned by more than one person, then each author must make the same warranty and assignment. Authors should also note that the copyright in publications first published by Australian Institute of Family Studies is owned by the Commonwealth of Australia by operation of the Copyright Act.

The Commonwealth Copyright Administration (CCA) is responsible for the management of copyright in published materials on behalf of Commonwealth agencies. Authors are required to seek permission from the CCA to reproduce their Institute-published work in other journals and elsewhere. Requests can be submitted online via a Copyright Request Form or mailed to: Commonwealth Copyright Administration, Attorney General's Department, Robert Garran Offices, National Circuit, Barton ACT 2600.
