Copyright Express is a simple way to request permission to photocopy or digitally copy from a hard copy original. It is a copyright clearance service offered by Copyright Agency Limited (CAL).

You can use Copyright Express if you are not covered by a CAL copying licence, or if the copying you want to do falls outside the terms of your CAL licence.

Copyright Express is not an instant approval service - sometimes we need to contact a copyright owner to seek permission to copy on your behalf. Please allow at least 48 hours for approval of your request.

To use Copyright Express contact our licensing team by phone on (02) 9394 7696 or email to Valeria Passo

If you want to copy print music, please contact AMCOS on (02) 9935 7900.

We have a minimum fee of $50 plus GST for each request.

If you own copyright in print material, you can nominate to have that material available for use under our Copyright Express service.
